GLP-1 questions inside a psychiatric chart
Binge-eating disorder, night eating, and restriction/binge cycles need a higher-level-of-care decision sometimes. Outpatient coaching is not enough then.
Clinical scope of Wellness & Weight Management in Miami-Dade County
Body confidence program language in old URLs still leads to a medical visit.
Mind-body weight loss still uses A1c.
Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Can North Miami Beach residents use your Hollywood office?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from North Miami Beach via I-95. We also offer telehealth for routine medication management and follow-up appointments.
Do you understand immigration-related mental health challenges?
Yes. We see many patients dealing with adjustment stress, anxiety related to immigration experiences, and intergenerational trauma. Our evaluations consider these cultural and social factors alongside clinical symptoms.

In-office versus Florida telehealth
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. North Miami Beach patients who drive 24 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
ZIP 33160 is the lead postal code listed for North Miami Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Set behavior metrics, not only pounds.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Indications and differentials
Binge-eating or night-eating.
Weight change tied to psychotropics.
OSA plus weight plus mood.
Not indicated as cosmetic rapid loss.
Book Wellness & Weight Management
If Wellness & Weight Management is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
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.
