Dr. Dorothy Chatelier-Orelus
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 8.8 mi away • Hollywood, FL
Welcome to the first step in your healing journey. I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in trauma, children/families, mood disorders, behavioral challenges, substance abuse and relationships. I have been licensed for over 12 years. I attended New York University for my master's program with a specialty in child welfare. I also attended Nova Southeastern University, focusing in psychology and substance abuse studies.
It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.
Hi!
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner fluent in English and Spanish. Prior to working in healthcare, I served 4 years in the Marine Corps as a military police officer, which helped shape me into the person I am today
I treat young children to adults and specialize in ADHD, sleep disorders, anxiety/panic disorders, depression, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and other mental health conditions.
My goal is to connect with all my patients, using an honest, warm, and relatable approach. Let's take this journey toward mental wellness hand in hand. Please visit my website at www.calvinopsych.com to find my office availabilities in Florida and North Carolina

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Finding ADHD therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, organization, emotional regulation, time management, and patterns that may come with ADHD, such as anxiety or depression. Some people also look for medication management, which is handled by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber rather than a therapist. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can involve different needs, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and client focus match what you are looking for.
Fort Lauderdale offers a range of local care options, from offices near downtown and Flagler Village to virtual appointments across Florida. If local appointment times are limited or your schedule changes week to week, virtual care can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist with ADHD experience. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or work with co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their style, structure sessions, and support people living with ADHD.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new clients, compare bios, check whether your plan is in network, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can review available times and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
