What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Home evaluation is allowed when the environment is private and the presentation is not an emergency.
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Parking, hours, and video visits

Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
What if my kids are home in Pompano Beach?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 28 minutes from Pompano Beach to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?
After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.
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.
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
