Functional psychiatry labs for Fort Lauderdale patients
Functional is a method (history → hypothesis → test), not a brand of IV.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
Pharmacogenetic testing changes probabilities for some drugs.
Ferritin and fatigue belong in psychiatry when the history fits.
Clinical FAQ
Iron?
Ferritin when the story fits.
Do you treat based on Instagram optimal ranges?
No. We use clinical context.
Genetic privacy?
We treat it as sensitive data.
Adrenal fatigue?
Not a diagnosis we sell.
What if labs are normal?
We still treat the psychiatric diagnosis if it is there.
Crisis?
988/ER, not a draw center.
Do you serve downtown Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, and we offer telehealth appointments for busy downtown professionals.
Can you help with work-related anxiety and burnout?
Absolutely. We see many Fort Lauderdale professionals dealing with workplace stress, burnout, and performance anxiety. Our evaluations identify root causes and create targeted treatment plans.
Credentials and method
Psychology Today verification and GeneSight partnership are listed as practice credentials. They support Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing; they are not a diagnosis and they are not a guarantee of outcome.
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC holds DNP, FNP-BC, and PMHNP-BC credentials. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing is advanced-practice psychiatric care, not a 15-minute refill mill and not unsupervised coaching.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.
Protocol elements we do not skip

Do not start TRT off a single afternoon T.

In-office versus Florida telehealth

History first.

Clinician: Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Last medical review: 2026-09-21.
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.
