Virtual anxiety treatment with a documented diagnosis
First-episode psychosis, unstable vital-sign concerns, and some controlled-substance starts may still need 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Clinical scope of Telehealth Psychiatry in Broward County
Online psychiatrist in consumer language often means a prescriber on video. Here that prescriber is a PMHNP-BC.
Telehealth psychiatry is a delivery setting for medical psychiatric care, limited to Florida presence.
Indications and differentials
Not indicated as covert care in an unsafe household if privacy cannot be obtained — we will problem-solve or use office.
Follow-up medication management for a known patient in Florida.
Patients in Oakland Park for whom 22 minutes plus parking is the barrier.
Not a replacement for sleep studies or imaging.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Recording by patient is discussed; we do not consent to social posting.
Location attestation in the note.
End visit if another person is coaching answers off-camera in a way that corrupts history.
Emergency address confirmed (where EMS would go).
Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
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 my kids are home in Oakland Park?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
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.
How Telehealth Psychiatry is structured
Share after-visit summary through the portal.
Document why telehealth was appropriate.
No dual-tasking (driving) during visits.
Order labs to a draw site near 33304 when indicated.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Oakland Park patients who drive 22 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
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.
Send prescriptions only to a legitimate pharmacy.
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.

Clinician: Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Last medical review: 2026-09-21.
Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
