Evidence we actually use
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.
Florida telehealth for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing requires the patient to be physically in Florida at the time of the visit. Crossing a state line mid-treatment can pause prescribing until licensure allows.
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
Privacy of genetic data.
No 80-marker default.
