How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Massage Therapy
Controlled-substance prescribing, when used in Massage Therapy, follows Florida PDMP review and a monitoring plan. Stimulants and benzodiazepines are never started from a portal message alone.
Florida telehealth for Massage Therapy 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.

Refer to Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC if the real need is a psychiatric evaluation.

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.
