How Miramar patients actually get here
Miramar 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 Miramar presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Screen restriction, binge, purge, laxatives.

Clinical FAQ
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
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.
Do you understand Caribbean mental health perspectives?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural nuances that affect mental health care in Caribbean communities. We provide culturally sensitive psychiatric treatment.
Is your office accessible from Miramar?
Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from Miramar via Miramar Parkway. We also offer telehealth appointments for added convenience.

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.
