Comprehensive psychiatric assessment — Davie, FL
If you already carry three diagnoses from three clinics, the evaluation starts by reconciling the timeline — not by adding a fourth label.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Davie patients
Psychosis evaluation treats hallucinations, delusions, and disorganization as time-sensitive. Substance-induced and mood-with-psychosis are on the differential.
Best-practice evaluation is the one that writes a differential and a monitoring plan. Star adjectives in old keywords are marketing residue, not a ranking.
Parking, hours, and video visits
ZIP 33314 is the lead postal code listed for Davie. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Psychiatric Evaluations visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Medical review flags thyroid, anemia, cardiac QT risk, pregnancy, and neurologic symptoms that redirect the workup.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Notes are written the same day whenever possible so the record matches the visit.
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
PDMP review before controlled substances. No stimulant start from a chat message.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated as a substitute for emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, or court-ordered forensic evaluation.
Out-of-state patients cannot complete a Florida telehealth evaluation while physically outside Florida.
Antidepressant trials that failed, caused mixed features, or were never given an adequate dose/duration.
Family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis that changes how aggressively we screen.
Clinical FAQ
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
Can you evaluate psychosis?
Yes, and we will escalate to a higher level of care if outpatient treatment is unsafe.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 12 minutes from Davie.
Can I use this evaluation for a legal letter?
Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
How long is a psychiatric evaluation?
New evaluations are typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk and how many variables changed.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.
How Psychiatric Evaluations is structured
Scales are chosen to match the hypothesis — we do not print every questionnaire in the building.
History of present illness is a timeline, not a mood adjective. We date onsets, postpartum windows, and medication trials.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
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 Psychiatric Evaluations rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Controlled-substance prescribing, when used in Psychiatric Evaluations, follows Florida PDMP review and a monitoring plan. Stimulants and benzodiazepines are never started from a portal message alone.
Care is structured around validated instruments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, MDQ) plus a clinical interview. Scores inform Psychiatric Evaluations; they do not replace it.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Start with one thorough Psychiatric Evaluations evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Psychiatric Evaluations, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness.
