What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Booking telepsych is booking a medical visit with a location rule.

First visit in-office is recommended when records are chaotic or risk is unclear.
Not indicated as covert care in an unsafe household if privacy cannot be obtained — we will problem-solve or use office.
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.
digital mental health still has to be a medical visit, not a chat.

How North Miami Beach patients actually get here
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
North Miami Beach (Miami-Dade County) has about 43,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 24 minutes from Oleta River State Park and the 163rd Street corridor.
No dual-tasking (driving) during visits.
Order labs to a draw site near 33160 when indicated.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Recording by patient is discussed; we do not consent to social posting.
Same documentation time standards.
No prescribing if location cannot be established.
End visit if another person is coaching answers off-camera in a way that corrupts history.
North Miami Beach FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 24 minutes from North Miami Beach to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
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.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Telehealth Psychiatry so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
