Weight and mood care in Hollywood
Hollywood food environment (shift work, late restaurants, hurricane stockpiling) is history, not moral failure.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Stress eating and emotional eating still get a differential (binge-eating disorder vs situational).
Mind-body weight loss still uses A1c.
Why Hollywood presentations look the way they do
Weight was used as a vital sign of your worth in clinic.
Functional testing was a $2,000 uninterpretable panel.
Sleep apnea untreated, scale blamed.
Visit flow for Wellness & Weight Management
Set behavior metrics, not only pounds.
Document GLP-1 risks if used.
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.
What we do not do
Bariatric programs are partners, not competitors, when BMI and comorbidity say so.
We will not outperform a registered dietitian at meal planning — we will refer.
Coaching without licensure is not this page.
What we rule in — and rule out
PMDD-related intake changes.
Patients who want monitoring, not a challenge.
Not indicated to treat anorexia with a GLP-1.
Body image distress with medical risk.
Clinical FAQ
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Exercise?
Dosed. Not a punishment.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Monitoring and safety in Wellness & Weight Management
GLP-1: contraindication check, follow-up GI/mood.
Suicide screen — eating disorders carry risk.
Medication list vs weight curve.
Informed consent for off-label metabolic uses.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Start with one thorough Wellness & Weight Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
