Clinical FAQ
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.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Who is the clinician?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
Indications and differentials
