Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Exercise?
Dosed. Not a punishment.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Walk-in?
No.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.
From intake to follow-up: Wellness & Weight Management
Involve family only with consent.
Diagnose psychiatric conditions that drive intake.
Labs as indicated.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Next step
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
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.

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.
