Weather, illness, or mobility limits that still allow a private room and camera.
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.
Not indicated as covert care in an unsafe household if privacy cannot be obtained — we will problem-solve or use office.
Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.

What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.

Yes, to draw sites near 33305.

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
If Telehealth Psychiatry is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
After Telehealth Psychiatry 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.
