Telehealth medication management for Florida patients
Refills are tied to clinical follow-up. Portal messages do not restart stimulants or benzodiazepines.
What Medication Management actually includes
Antipsychotic monitoring is metabolic and neurologic, not just 'mood better / worse.'
Mood-stabilizer adjustment uses levels, kidney/thyroid labs, and teratogenicity counseling when relevant.
Visit flow for Medication Management
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Valproate: level, LFTs, CBC, pregnancy counseling.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Wilton Manors patients who drive 22 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
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.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
22-minute path to the Hollywood office

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.

Perinatal patients were given a drug with a lactation profile nobody explained.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
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.
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.

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.
