South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Wilton Manors presentations. Massage Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Massage Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.

Wilton Manors FAQs for Massage Therapy
Crisis?
988 or ER, not the table.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
How often?
Individual. Packages are not a psychiatric protocol.
Can I keep clothes on?
Yes.
Do therapists diagnose ADHD?
No.
Men welcome?
Yes.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.
Next step
If Massage Therapy 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.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Massage Therapy, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

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.
