Sleep, cortisol clues, and the scale
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC treats the psychiatric drivers and medication effects that move weight. This is not a spa weight-loss brand.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Holistic weight care means whole-person, not unregulated.
Stress eating and emotional eating still get a differential (binge-eating disorder vs situational).
Visit flow for Wellness & Weight Management
Screen restriction, binge, purge, laxatives.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
Document GLP-1 risks if used.
Clinical FAQ
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Who is the clinician?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
Do you treat older adults from Margate?
Yes. We specialize in mood changes related to aging, medication management for complex cases, and hormone replacement therapy for both men and women experiencing age-related hormonal decline.
What's the best way to reach you from Margate?
Drive time is about 25 minutes via 441 or the Turnpike. Many Margate patients choose telehealth for routine follow-ups and in-person visits for initial evaluations.
28-minute path to the Hollywood office
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Margate include Oriole Gardens, Sunshine Village, and central Margate. ZIP codes 33063, 33068, 33093 map to this service-area page.
Margate (Broward County) has about 58,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 28 minutes from Margate Community Center and the Coconut Creek Parkway edge.
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.

Book Wellness & Weight Management

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.
