Secure telepsychiatry from a Hollywood medical home
Leftover 'affordable online' slugs are not a Groupon.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Functional telepsych = interview + local lab draw + video results visit.
Secure video means a HIPAA platform, not FaceTime.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Same PDMP rules as office.
Emergency address confirmed (where EMS would go).
Same documentation time standards.
Interpreter use when language requires it.
DSM-5-TR framing for book telepsych consult
Weather, illness, or mobility limits that still allow a private room and camera.
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.
First visit in-office is recommended when records are chaotic or risk is unclear.
Not indicated outside Florida.
From intake to follow-up: Telehealth Psychiatry
If video fails, call the number on file.
Schedule the next visit before disconnecting.
Same history and MSE as office, adapted to camera.
No dual-tasking (driving) during visits.
Parking, hours, and video visits
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.
Plantation 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.
Order labs to a draw site near 33311 when indicated.
Document why telehealth was appropriate.
Neighborhoods and ZIPs: 33311, 33313, 33317, 33322
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Plantation patients who drive 18 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
ZIP 33311 is the lead postal code listed for Plantation. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Plantation presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Parking and I-95 make Hollywood feel farther than 18 minutes.
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.
Start with one thorough Telehealth Psychiatry evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.

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.
