Perinatal mood evaluation includes pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, and medication teratogenicity counseling — not a generic depression template.
DSM-5-TR framing for mental health assessment
Out-of-state patients cannot complete a Florida telehealth evaluation while physically outside Florida.
Insomnia that is either a syndrome of its own or a driver of daytime psychiatric symptoms.
mental health assessment is treated as a presenting complaint that still has to survive a differential, not as a self-diagnosis we rubber-stamp.
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Telehealth identity and location in Florida are verified.
Missed appointments after a high-risk visit trigger outreach, not silent discharge.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.
Patients can request a copy of the formulation; mystery diagnoses are not a clinical style.
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.
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 soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Oakland Park.
Is GeneSight required?
No. It is considered after failed medication trials or significant side effects.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
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.
