How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Wellness & Weight Management
When Wellness & Weight Management overlaps with psychotherapy needs, the practice coordinates with therapists rather than replacing weekly therapy. Medication and psychotherapy have different mechanisms and both may be indicated.
Documentation for Wellness & Weight Management uses problem lists, differential diagnosis, and follow-up intervals — not marketing slogans. Visit notes are written so a covering clinician could continue care safely.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Hollywood 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 Hollywood presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
Protocol elements we do not skip
No IV for weight loss.
Medication list vs weight curve.
Document why a requested product was refused.
Do not display before/after marketing in clinic.
Book Wellness & Weight Management
Start with one thorough Wellness & Weight Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
