Med checks with a problem list, not a clipboard
Sleep meds are reviewed for next-day impairment, falls, and whether CBT-I or apnea treatment should come first.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Tapering is scheduled. Paroxetine, venlafaxine, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each have different withdrawal physics.
Psychiatric medication management is ongoing medical treatment: indication, dose, monitoring, and an exit plan.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Wilton Manors (Broward County) has about 11,500 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 22 minutes from Wilton Drive and the Pride Center district.
Wilton Manors sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Clinical FAQ
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
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.
What changes if Medication Management is done thoroughly
Documentation suitable for a covering clinician.
Clear instructions for missed doses and alcohol.
Lab and ECG monitoring matched to the drug, not to a generic wellness panel.
One indication per medication, written down.
Deprescribing as a clinical goal when the risk/benefit flips.
Why Wilton Manors presentations look the way they do
Cannabis and alcohol were left off the medication list as if they were not psychoactive.
Antidepressant-induced mixed features were never named.
Three benzodiazepines from three apps, no taper plan, and a PDMP that tells a story nobody reviewed.
22-minute path to the Hollywood office
{access}. That access pattern is why Medication Management for Wilton Manors is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Wilton Manors presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Clozapine-level monitoring was skipped after a near miss.
DSM-5-TR framing for Medication Management
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
