Hormone-informed weight care, not a detox
SGAs and some antidepressants cause weight gain. We name that and discuss switches or metformin/GLP-1 only when appropriate.

Miramar FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Exercise?
Dosed. Not a punishment.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
Walk-in?
No.
How far is the office?
16 minutes from Miramar.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Do you understand Caribbean mental health perspectives?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural nuances that affect mental health care in Caribbean communities. We provide culturally sensitive psychiatric treatment.
Is your office accessible from Miramar?
Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from Miramar via Miramar Parkway. We also offer telehealth appointments for added convenience.
How Miramar patients actually get here
Miramar 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.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Involve family only with consent.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Credentials and method
HIPAA-compliant records, encrypted telehealth, and a single Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension keep Wellness & Weight Management identifiable to one medical home instead of a rotating locum panel.
The practice is women-owned and Haitian-led. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC documents cultural context — including stigma in Caribbean and Latin American families — during Wellness & Weight Management rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Visit length for new Wellness & Weight Management is typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk, controlled substances, and how many variables changed since the last visit.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Start with one thorough Wellness & Weight Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.

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.
