Hormone-informed psych evaluation near Westfield Broward and the University Drive medical corridor
Insurance verification happens before the visit so the evaluation itself is clinical time.
What Psychiatric Evaluations actually includes
Functional psychiatric evaluation adds labs and metabolic context to the psychiatric interview. Labs do not license skipping DSM-5-TR criteria.
Walk-in language on older URLs means we will try to find an earlier slot when risk is high — not that a diagnostic interview happens in a lobby.
18-minute path to the Hollywood office
Plantation (Broward County) has about 92,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 18 minutes from Westfield Broward and the University Drive medical corridor.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Plantation presentations. Psychiatric Evaluations intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Plantation sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Psychiatric Evaluations when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
You have been told you have anxiety, depression, ADHD, and 'hormonal mood' by different people, and none of them wrote a differential that explains the overlap.
DSM-5-TR framing for book psych evaluation
Pediatric primary care is not the focus of this clinic; adolescents are considered case-by-case.
Perimenopausal, postpartum, PMDD, or androgen-related mood change that has not been medically reviewed.
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.

Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Missed appointments after a high-risk visit trigger outreach, not silent discharge.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
Collateral from a partner or parent is requested when insight is limited — with consent.
Plantation FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations

7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 18 minutes from Plantation.
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.

Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
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.
Do hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.

The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.
