Hybrid care: Hollywood office plus encrypted follow-up
Labs are ordered to draw sites near 33326, then reviewed on a follow-up video visit.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Secure video means a HIPAA platform, not FaceTime.
Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33326.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
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.
How Telehealth Psychiatry is structured
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
Record the platform used and time in / time out.
Send prescriptions only to a legitimate pharmacy.
Document why telehealth was appropriate.
What we rule in — and rule out
Lab result review.
Weather, illness, or mobility limits that still allow a private room and camera.
Patients in Weston for whom 24 minutes plus parking is the barrier.
Hybrid plans are preferred when controlled substances or complex medical comorbidity exist.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Weston sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

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.
