Antipsychotic metabolic monitoring serving Cooper City
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.
Medication Management for Cooper City patients
Psychiatric medication management is ongoing medical treatment: indication, dose, monitoring, and an exit plan.

Clinical FAQ
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Is Cooper City close to your office?
Very close — our Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension is about 10 minutes from Cooper City via Stirling Road or Griffin Road.
Do you work with families?
Yes. We provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, and can coordinate care with family therapists for a comprehensive approach.

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 Medication Management rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Hormone-informed psychiatry means estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are considered when the history for Medication Management points there — not as a default panel on every patient.
