Body confidence that does not deny medical risk
SGAs and some antidepressants cause weight gain. We name that and discuss switches or metformin/GLP-1 only when appropriate.

Dania Beach FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
How close is your office to Dania Beach?
Extremely close — our Hollywood office is approximately 5-10 minutes from Dania Beach. We're one of the nearest psychiatric practices for Dania Beach residents.
Is the practice large or small?
We're a focused private practice where you work directly with Dr. Chatelier, DNP — not a large clinic. This ensures continuity of care and a strong therapeutic relationship.
