Lighthouse Point FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
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.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
What we rule in — and rule out
Weight change tied to psychotropics.
Not indicated as cosmetic rapid loss.
Patients who want monitoring, not a challenge.
Not indicated as IV slimming.
How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Set behavior metrics, not only pounds.
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.
Book Wellness & Weight Management
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Wellness & Weight Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
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.
