wellness weight loss without a shame script
Body confidence work does not mean we ignore A1c.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Exercise and mental health: start at a dose depression can survive.
Booking a wellness consult is booking a clinical visit.
Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
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.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.
Do you work with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds?
Yes. Our practice serves South Florida's diverse communities with culturally aware psychiatric care. Dr. Chatelier's multicultural background informs her compassionate, evidence-based approach.

Labs as indicated.
Neighborhoods and ZIPs: 33009
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hallandale Beach presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Hallandale Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Depression anhedonia makes meal prep impossible; the plan ignored that.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Do not display before/after marketing in clinic.
Privacy around weighing.
Suicide screen — eating disorders carry risk.
Alcohol quantification.
Indications and differentials
Body image distress with medical risk.
OSA plus weight plus mood.
Second opinion after a spa program.
Not indicated as IV slimming.
Next step
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.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Wellness & Weight Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
