Psychiatric Evaluations for Weston patients
Mental health assessment in this practice means structured interviewing plus scales. Screening is not the same as a full diagnostic formulation.
Eating-disorder psychiatric evaluation looks at restriction, binge-purge, body image, electrolytes, and when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Records from other clinicians are requested with your authorization; we do not pretend collateral is optional when the history is fragmented.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Monitoring and safety in Psychiatric Evaluations
Telehealth identity and location in Florida are verified.
Collateral from a partner or parent is requested when insight is limited — with consent.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.
Benzodiazepines, when used, have an indication, a taper plan, and a discussion of dependence.

Weston FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 24 minutes from Weston.
Will you prescribe on visit one?
Only when the diagnosis, safety, and monitoring plan support it. Controlled substances have a higher bar.
Do hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
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.
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
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.
Indications and differentials
Out-of-state patients cannot complete a Florida telehealth evaluation while physically outside Florida.
Prior diagnoses that conflict with each other or with the current mental status exam.
Pediatric primary care is not the focus of this clinic; adolescents are considered case-by-case.
Insomnia that is either a syndrome of its own or a driver of daytime psychiatric symptoms.
Next step
After Psychiatric Evaluations is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If Psychiatric Evaluations 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.

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.
