Hormone-informed psych evaluation near Wilton Drive and the Pride Center district
GeneSight is discussed when antidepressant trials have already failed — not as a souvenir test on visit one.
What Psychiatric Evaluations actually includes
Sleep assessment looks at insomnia, circadian delay, apnea clues, and whether poor sleep is driving the daytime syndrome or following it.
Functional psychiatric evaluation adds labs and metabolic context to the psychiatric interview. Labs do not license skipping DSM-5-TR criteria.
Questions we hear about Psychiatric Evaluations
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
Do you replace my therapist?
No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Wilton Manors.
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.
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
Can the evaluation be done by video?
Often yes if you are physically in Florida and a physical exam is not required. High-risk, first-episode psychosis, or complex medical cases may need the Hollywood office.
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.

Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Psychiatric Evaluations visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Waitlists in Broward County pushed you into an urgent-care refill without a diagnostic interview.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
Collateral from a partner or parent is requested when insight is limited — with consent.
Follow-up interval tightens when a new antidepressant, antipsychotic, or mood stabilizer is started.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.

Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
