hs-CRP is a marker, not a diagnosis
Oakland Park draw sites are used so you are not driving 22 minutes for a needle if a local lab will do.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
Psychiatric lab testing is not a personality quiz.
Lab testing psych in Hollywood includes interpretation.
How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
Controlled-substance prescribing, when used in Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing, follows Florida PDMP review and a monitoring plan. Stimulants and benzodiazepines are never started from a portal message alone.
Documentation for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing uses problem lists, differential diagnosis, and follow-up intervals — not marketing slogans. Visit notes are written so a covering clinician could continue care safely.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.
Indications and differentials
Metabolic monitoring on SGAs (that's also med management).
Abnormal prior labs without interpretation.
Treatment-resistant depression with never-checked B12/ferritin/TSH.
Not indicated: proving you are 'not crazy.'
Clinical FAQ
Adrenal fatigue?
Not a diagnosis we sell.
Can labs be wrong?
Yes. We repeat when needed.
Do you treat based on Instagram optimal ranges?
No. We use clinical context.
Crisis?
988/ER, not a draw center.
What if labs are normal?
We still treat the psychiatric diagnosis if it is there.
How soon results?
Depends on the lab. We schedule a results visit.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.
How far is Oakland Park from your office?
Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from Oakland Park. Telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up medication management visits.

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.
