Hallandale Beach food environment (shift work, late restaurants, hurricane stockpiling) is history, not moral failure.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
IV weight support is not an indication we treat with drips.
Functional weight testing is hypothesis-driven, not a catalog of 80 biomarkers.
Hallandale Beach FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.
Do you work with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds?
Yes. Our practice serves South Florida's diverse communities with culturally aware psychiatric care. Dr. Chatelier's multicultural background informs her compassionate, evidence-based approach.
