Psychotropic weight gain: a medical problem
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.
Exercise and mental health: start at a dose depression can survive.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
GLP-1: contraindication check, follow-up GI/mood.
Privacy around weighing.
Avoid dual major med changes plus a crash diet.
Eating-disorder screen every new patient in this service line.
How Miramar patients actually get here
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.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Miramar patients who drive 16 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Involve family only with consent.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.

Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Do I need a dietitian?

No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
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.
How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Involve family only with consent.
Diagnose psychiatric conditions that drive intake.
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
DSM-5-TR framing for sleep weight wellness
Metabolic syndrome plus psychiatric illness.
PMDD-related intake changes.
Weight change tied to psychotropics.
Patients asking for GLP-1 who also have a psych history.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Wellness & Weight Management. Mention Miramar so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
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.
