Psychiatric Evaluations in Weston, 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.

Weston's high-achieving community means patients often present with executive functioning concerns, performance anxiety, and burnout — conditions that respond well to our combination of psychiatric evaluation, targeted medication management, and hormone optimization. Many Weston residents also seek discreet telehealth options.

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.
