Encrypted video visits — same standard as the office
This is not 'virtual therapy' as a synonym for weekly psychotherapy. This is medical psychiatric care by video.
Clinical scope of Telehealth Psychiatry in Broward County
Top-rated virtual therapy language on old URLs is leftover copy; this service is medical psychiatry, which may include therapy referral.
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Crisis script includes 988 and nearest ER to Pompano Beach.
Backup phone number.
Recording by patient is discussed; we do not consent to social posting.
Minors: guardian presence rules.
Access from Pompano Beach
ZIP 33060 is the lead postal code listed for Pompano Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
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.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Pompano Beach patients who drive 28 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Records that never reached your local ER.

What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated as covert care in an unsafe household if privacy cannot be obtained — we will problem-solve or use office.

Next step
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.
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
