Oakland Park FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
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.
