Clinical FAQ
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.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Exercise?
Dosed. Not a punishment.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Wellness & Weight Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Start with one thorough Wellness & Weight Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
