Evidence we actually use
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 Wellness & Weight Management rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Florida telehealth for Wellness & Weight Management requires the patient to be physically in Florida at the time of the visit. Crossing a state line mid-treatment can pause prescribing until licensure allows.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.
What we rule in — and rule out
Second opinion after a spa program.
Not indicated as cosmetic rapid loss.
OSA plus weight plus mood.
Body image distress with medical risk.

Next step
If Wellness & Weight Management is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
