Taper plans when a medication's risk exceeds its benefit
Refills are tied to clinical follow-up. Portal messages do not restart stimulants or benzodiazepines.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
ADHD titration follows a confirmed differential. Heart rate, sleep, appetite, and diversion risk are part of the visit.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
Benzodiazepines: indication, duration limit, taper language.
Indications and differentials
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.
Medication Management still has to map to a problem on the list.
Taper request that requires a medical schedule.
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
Credentials and method
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.
Medication Management at Peace & Heart Wellness is directed by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, a Florida-licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with more than a decade of hormone-informed psychiatric practice. Care is hormone-informed and lab-aware rather than checklist-only.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.
Visit flow for Medication Management
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.

No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.

If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Clinical FAQ
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
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.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.
Do you work with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds?
Yes. Our practice serves South Florida's diverse communities with culturally aware psychiatric care. Dr. Chatelier's multicultural background informs her compassionate, evidence-based approach.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Start with one thorough Medication Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
