Telehealth for Plantation when I-95 is the barrier, not the diagnosis
First-episode psychosis, unstable vital-sign concerns, and some controlled-substance starts may still need 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Top-rated virtual therapy language on old URLs is leftover copy; this service is medical psychiatry, which may include therapy referral.
Online psychiatrist in consumer language often means a prescriber on video. Here that prescriber is a PMHNP-BC.
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.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
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.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
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 18 minutes from Plantation to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
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.
