Hormone-informed psych evaluation near Oleta River State Park and the 163rd Street corridor
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC conducts a structured diagnostic interview, then decides which labs, scales, and follow-up cadence actually belong on the plan.
What Psychiatric Evaluations actually includes
Best-practice evaluation is the one that writes a differential and a monitoring plan. Star adjectives in old keywords are marketing residue, not a ranking.
Hormone-mood assessment reviews estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol clues without claiming every mood symptom is endocrine.

Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Clinical FAQ
Do you diagnose on the first visit?
Usually we can state a working diagnosis and differential after the first complete interview. Some presentations need collateral, labs, or a second visit.
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
Do you replace my therapist?
No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
How long is a psychiatric evaluation?
New evaluations are typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk and how many variables changed.
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
Can North Miami Beach residents use your Hollywood office?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from North Miami Beach via I-95. We also offer telehealth for routine medication management and follow-up appointments.
Do you understand immigration-related mental health challenges?
Yes. We see many patients dealing with adjustment stress, anxiety related to immigration experiences, and intergenerational trauma. Our evaluations consider these cultural and social factors alongside clinical symptoms.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Pregnancy status and contraception when prescribing agents with teratogenic or lactation issues.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
Collateral from a partner or parent is requested when insight is limited — with consent.
Follow-up interval tightens when a new antidepressant, antipsychotic, or mood stabilizer is started.
DSM-5-TR framing for sleep disorder assessment
Not indicated as a substitute for emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, or court-ordered forensic evaluation.
Family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis that changes how aggressively we screen.
Pediatric primary care is not the focus of this clinic; adolescents are considered case-by-case.
Antidepressant trials that failed, caused mixed features, or were never given an adequate dose/duration.
How Psychiatric Evaluations is structured
Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
