Evidence we actually use
Clinical decisions for Wellness & Weight Management are made by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC (DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC). Pharmacogenetic data (including GeneSight when indicated) can inform medication choice; it never replaces a diagnostic interview.
Informed consent for Wellness & Weight Management covers benefits, risks, alternatives (including no medication), and the limits of telehealth. Patients can decline any lab or medication without losing access to the diagnostic formulation.
The practice does not publish fabricated star ratings. Patient stories on this site are process descriptions, not purchased testimonials.

Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
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.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Walk-in?
No.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
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.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
