Secure telepsychiatry from a Hollywood medical home
First-episode psychosis, unstable vital-sign concerns, and some controlled-substance starts may still need 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Telehealth Psychiatry for Deerfield Beach patients

Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence

Credentials and method
Functional labs (TSH with free T4/T3, ferritin, vitamin D, sex hormones, hs-CRP) are ordered when the history for Telehealth Psychiatry suggests a medical contributor. Normal labs do not rule out a DSM-5-TR diagnosis.
The Hollywood office is the only brick-and-mortar site. Telehealth Psychiatry for Deerfield Beach is service-area care from that office plus telehealth — not a separate clinic in every city.
Hormone-informed psychiatry means estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are considered when the history for Telehealth Psychiatry points there — not as a default panel on every patient.

Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Does insurance cover telehealth?
Often; verify. Coverage is not guaranteed by this page.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.

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. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
