Evidence we actually use
The practice is women-owned and Haitian-led. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC documents cultural context — including stigma in Caribbean and Latin American families — during Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing rather than treating it as an afterthought.
When Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing overlaps with psychotherapy needs, the practice coordinates with therapists rather than replacing weekly therapy. Medication and psychotherapy have different mechanisms and both may be indicated.
Care is structured around validated instruments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, MDQ) plus a clinical interview. Scores inform Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing; they do not replace it.

In-office versus Florida telehealth
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. North Miami Beach patients who drive 24 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Give timing/fasting instructions.
Write the hypothesis.

Timed, not pellet bait.

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.
