Lauderhill FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Exercise?
Dosed. Not a punishment.
Who is the clinician?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Does Dr. Chatelier understand Caribbean cultural views on mental health?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural perspectives on mental health common in Caribbean communities. She provides respectful, culturally aware psychiatric care.

In-office versus Florida telehealth
Lauderhill 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.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Lauderhill presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Do not start a crash diet in active eating disorder.
Book Wellness & Weight Management
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.
Request a Wellness & Weight Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.

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.
