Functional psychiatric evaluation with targeted labs
This page is for people who need a diagnosis formulated — not a same-day stimulant script from a portal message.
What Psychiatric Evaluations actually includes
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.
Hormone-mood assessment reviews estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol clues without claiming every mood symptom is endocrine.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
Scales are chosen to match the hypothesis — we do not print every questionnaire in the building.
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.
Plan includes psychotherapy referral, medication or not, labs, and a follow-up date.

Questions we hear about Psychiatric Evaluations
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Wilton Manors.
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
Can you evaluate psychosis?
Yes, and we will escalate to a higher level of care if outpatient treatment is unsafe.
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
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 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
Benzodiazepines, when used, have an indication, a taper plan, and a discussion of dependence.
Pregnancy status and contraception when prescribing agents with teratogenic or lactation issues.
Notes are written the same day whenever possible so the record matches the visit.
PDMP review before controlled substances. No stimulant start from a chat message.
DSM-5-TR framing for mental health screening appointment
Insomnia that is either a syndrome of its own or a driver of daytime psychiatric symptoms.
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
Adult ADHD concern with childhood onset clues or with strong mimic risk (sleep, trauma, mood).
Family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis that changes how aggressively we screen.
