Adult psychiatric evaluation for Weston patients
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC conducts a structured diagnostic interview, then decides which labs, scales, and follow-up cadence actually belong on the plan.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Weston patients
Sleep assessment looks at insomnia, circadian delay, apnea clues, and whether poor sleep is driving the daytime syndrome or following it.
Comprehensive assessment includes past treatments, doses, durations, and why they stopped — the data that actually changes the next trial.
Visit flow for Psychiatric Evaluations
Labs are ordered when they could change management, not to decorate the chart.
Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Records from other clinicians are requested with your authorization; we do not pretend collateral is optional when the history is fragmented.

Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Weston patients who drive 24 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Weston include Bonaventure, Weston Hills, and the Tequesta Trace area. ZIP codes 33326, 33327, 33331, 33332 map to this service-area page.

In-office versus Florida telehealth
Weston sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Psychiatric Evaluations when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

Questions we hear about Psychiatric Evaluations
Can you evaluate psychosis?
Yes, and we will escalate to a higher level of care if outpatient treatment is unsafe.
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
What labs might you order?
Hypothesis-driven: TSH with free T4, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, folate, CBC, CMP, and selected hormones. Not every patient needs every test.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 24 minutes from Weston.
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
Can I use this evaluation for a legal letter?
Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
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.
DSM-5-TR framing for comprehensive psych assessment
A request for a second opinion before a major medication change or a disability form.
Out-of-state patients cannot complete a Florida telehealth evaluation while physically outside Florida.
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.
Family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis that changes how aggressively we screen.
Next step
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Psychiatric Evaluations, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
After Psychiatric Evaluations 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.
