How Telehealth Psychiatry is structured
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
Confirm a private setting. Reschedule if unsafe or public.
Share after-visit summary through the portal.

Clinical FAQ
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
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.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.
Evidence we actually use
The Hollywood office is the only brick-and-mortar site. Telehealth Psychiatry for Wilton Manors is service-area care from that office plus telehealth — not a separate clinic in every city.
Crisis care is not provided after hours. Telehealth Psychiatry patients in acute danger are directed to 988 or an emergency department. Ongoing care resumes after medical stabilization.
Care is structured around validated instruments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, MDQ) plus a clinical interview. Scores inform Telehealth Psychiatry; they do not replace it.
Monitoring and safety in Telehealth Psychiatry
Recording by patient is discussed; we do not consent to social posting.
Minors: guardian presence rules.
Backup phone number.
No prescribing if location cannot be established.
Indications and differentials
First visit in-office is recommended when records are chaotic or risk is unclear.
Patients in Wilton Manors for whom 22 minutes plus parking is the barrier.
Not a replacement for sleep studies or imaging.

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.
