Clinical decisions for Massage Therapy are made by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC (DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC). Pharmacogenetic data (including GeneSight when indicated) can inform medication choice; it never replaces a diagnostic interview.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.

Reschedule if febrile or acutely ill.

Do not book through a party-spa package as if it were psychiatry.
