Online mood-disorder care that still uses scales and labs
Hormone follow-ups can be video; injections and some exams cannot.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Home evaluation is allowed when the environment is private and the presentation is not an emergency.
How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Telehealth Psychiatry
When Telehealth Psychiatry overlaps with psychotherapy needs, the practice coordinates with therapists rather than replacing weekly therapy. Medication and psychotherapy have different mechanisms and both may be indicated.
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 Telehealth Psychiatry rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Visit length for new Telehealth Psychiatry is typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk, controlled substances, and how many variables changed since the last visit.
