Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Who is the clinician?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Do you serve downtown Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, and we offer telehealth appointments for busy downtown professionals.
Can you help with work-related anxiety and burnout?
Absolutely. We see many Fort Lauderdale professionals dealing with workplace stress, burnout, and performance anxiety. Our evaluations identify root causes and create targeted treatment plans.
Parking, hours, and video visits
ZIP 33301 is the lead postal code listed for Fort Lauderdale. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
{access}. That access pattern is why Wellness & Weight Management for Fort Lauderdale is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Do not start a crash diet in active eating disorder.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
