Questions we hear about Medication Management
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
How close is your office to Dania Beach?
Extremely close — our Hollywood office is approximately 5-10 minutes from Dania Beach. We're one of the nearest psychiatric practices for Dania Beach residents.
Is the practice large or small?
We're a focused private practice where you work directly with Dr. Chatelier, DNP — not a large clinic. This ensures continuity of care and a strong therapeutic relationship.

ZIP 33004 is the lead postal code listed for Dania Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.

Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Missed labs = delayed titration.
Informed consent stored in the chart.
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Evidence we actually use
Crisis care is not provided after hours. Medication Management patients in acute danger are directed to 988 or an emergency department. Ongoing care resumes after medical stabilization.
Informed consent for Medication Management covers benefits, risks, alternatives (including no medication), and the limits of telehealth. Patients can decline any lab or medication without losing access to the diagnostic formulation.
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.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
