The output is a problem list, a differential, and a plan you can take to another clinician if you move.

Clinical FAQ
What labs might you order?
Hypothesis-driven: TSH with free T4, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, folate, CBC, CMP, and selected hormones. Not every patient needs every test.
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Oakland Park.
Is this a psychiatrist (MD/DO)?
Care is provided by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She diagnoses and prescribes within Florida APRN scope. She is not an MD psychiatrist.
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 hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.
How far is Oakland Park from your office?
Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from Oakland Park. Telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up medication management visits.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Follow-up is scheduled before you leave so the evaluation is not a one-off performance.
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
Plan includes psychotherapy referral, medication or not, labs, and a follow-up date.
Labs are ordered when they could change management, not to decorate the chart.
