Wellness consults that still use DSM-5-TR when an eating disorder is present
Thyroid, sleep apnea, and insulin resistance are medical, not 'mindset.'
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Stress eating and emotional eating still get a differential (binge-eating disorder vs situational).
Functional weight testing is hypothesis-driven, not a catalog of 80 biomarkers.
Coconut Creek FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
How far is the office?
32 minutes from Coconut Creek.
Walk-in?
No.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Do you evaluate menopause-related mood changes?
Yes. Many Coconut Creek patients come to us specifically for the intersection of hormonal changes and mood disorders. We offer comprehensive hormone panels alongside psychiatric evaluation.
How do I get to your office from Coconut Creek?
Our Hollywood office is about 25-30 minutes via 441 or the Turnpike. First evaluations are in-person; many follow-up med checks can be done via telehealth.

Next step
Start with one thorough Wellness & Weight Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If Wellness & Weight Management 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.
