Video follow-ups for Broward County commuters
Hormone follow-ups can be video; injections and some exams cannot.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Top-rated virtual therapy language on old URLs is leftover copy; this service is medical psychiatry, which may include therapy referral.

Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 22 minutes from Wilton Manors to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
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 Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Convert to Hollywood office when a physical exam is needed.

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.
