Psychiatric Evaluations in Dania Beach, FL
Get a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your mental health. At Peace & Heart Wellness, Dr. Dorothy Chatelier conducts thorough 60-90 minute evaluations that go beyond surface-level symptom checklists. We assess mood patterns, cognitive function, sleep architecture, hormonal influences, and lifestyle factors that contribute to how you feel every day.
Our licensed experts assess mood, cognition, and root causes with functional testing. Unlike quick 15-minute assessments, our evaluations include a detailed clinical interview, review of medical history, and discussion of functional lab options — including hormone panels, thyroid function, and genetic testing — to identify biological factors that standard psychiatric evaluations often miss.
Dania Beach's small-town feel within a major metro area means residents value personal, relationship-based mental health care over large clinic settings. Our practice model — where patients work directly with Dr. Chatelier — provides the personalized attention Dania Beach residents prefer.
Every evaluation results in a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific diagnosis, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you need medication management, hormone optimization, therapy referrals, or a combination approach, you'll leave your first appointment with a clear path forward and a provider who truly understands your complete health picture.
