Online mood-disorder care still screens mixed features.
How Telehealth Psychiatry is structured
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
Same history and MSE as office, adapted to camera.
If video fails, call the number on file.
Order labs to a draw site near 33023 when indicated.
Clinical FAQ
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 12 minutes from Pembroke Pines to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
How close are you to Pembroke Pines?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from central Pembroke Pines via Pines Boulevard or Sheridan Street. We also offer telehealth for maximum convenience.
Do you serve Century Village Pembroke Pines?
Yes, we serve many patients from Century Village and specialize in age-related mood changes, medication management for seniors, and hormone therapy.
Protocol elements we do not skip

What we rule in — and rule out

Access from Pembroke Pines
{access}. That access pattern is why Telehealth Psychiatry for Pembroke Pines is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
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.
Pembroke Pines sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
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.
If Telehealth Psychiatry is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.

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.
