Emotional eating as a syndrome with a differential
Body confidence work does not mean we ignore A1c.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Mental health weight programs have to diagnose binge-eating and depression, not just count almonds.
Body confidence program language in old URLs still leads to a medical visit.
Clinical FAQ
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
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 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.

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.
