Functional psychiatric evaluation with targeted labs
Patients driving from Wilton Manors (22 min) can complete the first evaluation in Hollywood or, when clinically appropriate, by Florida telehealth.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Wilton Manors patients
Telehealth evaluation is appropriate when the patient is in Florida, the presentation is not an emergency, and a physical exam is not required that day.
Anxiety evaluation separates GAD, panic, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and medical mimics such as hyperthyroidism or stimulant toxicity.
How Wilton Manors patients actually get here
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.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Wilton Manors include Wilton Drive, Coral Gardens, and the Middle River corridor. ZIP codes 33305, 33306, 33334 map to this service-area page.
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
What we rule in — and rule out
hormone mood assessment is treated as a presenting complaint that still has to survive a differential, not as a self-diagnosis we rubber-stamp.
A request for a second opinion before a major medication change or a disability form.
Not indicated as a substitute for emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, or court-ordered forensic evaluation.
Substance use that may be inducing or masking a primary psychiatric disorder.

Wilton Manors FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Will you prescribe on visit one?
Only when the diagnosis, safety, and monitoring plan support it. Controlled substances have a higher bar.
How long is a psychiatric evaluation?
New evaluations are typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk and how many variables changed.
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.
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Wilton Manors.
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.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Notes are written the same day whenever possible so the record matches the visit.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.
Informed consent is documented for off-label use when evidence supports it and alternatives were discussed.
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
