Sunrise FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
What if my kids are home in Sunrise?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Do you accept insurance for Sunrise patients?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Call us at (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
Can I get evening or weekend telehealth appointments?
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate work schedules. Contact our office to discuss available appointment times.
Book Telehealth Psychiatry
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Telehealth Psychiatry so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

Clinician: Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Last medical review: 2026-09-21.
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.
