Anxiety evaluation separates GAD, panic, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and medical mimics such as hyperthyroidism or stimulant toxicity.
Functional psychiatric evaluation adds labs and metabolic context to the psychiatric interview. Labs do not license skipping DSM-5-TR criteria.

You were told you 'don't look depressed,' which is not a diagnostic criterion.
Protocol elements we do not skip
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
Benzodiazepines, when used, have an indication, a taper plan, and a discussion of dependence.
If GeneSight is used, results are filed with the limitation statement in the note.
Weston FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Do you treat ADHD in adults?
Yes, with a differential that includes sleep, trauma, mood, and thyroid mimics. Childhood history still matters.
How long is a psychiatric evaluation?
New evaluations are typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk and how many variables changed.
Is GeneSight required?
No. It is considered after failed medication trials or significant side effects.
Can the evaluation be done by video?
Often yes if you are physically in Florida and a physical exam is not required. High-risk, first-episode psychosis, or complex medical cases may need the Hollywood office.
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
Is this a psychiatrist (MD/DO)?
Care is provided by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She diagnoses and prescribes within Florida APRN scope. She is not an MD psychiatrist.
Do you offer discreet telehealth for Weston patients?
Yes. Many Weston patients prefer our secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth option for appointments from the privacy of their home or office.
Can you help with executive performance and focus issues?
Absolutely. We specialize in ADHD evaluations, cognitive performance optimization, and medication management for adults who need to perform at a high level.

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.
