Body confidence that does not deny medical risk
Exercise is dosed like a treatment, not a punishment for eating.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Nutrition psych weight is the overlap of intake patterns and DSM-5-TR diagnoses.
Holistic weight care means whole-person, not unregulated.
From intake to follow-up: Wellness & Weight Management
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.

How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Wellness & Weight Management
Controlled-substance prescribing, when used in Wellness & Weight Management, follows Florida PDMP review and a monitoring plan. Stimulants and benzodiazepines are never started from a portal message alone.
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.
Hormone-informed psychiatry means estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are considered when the history for Wellness & Weight Management points there — not as a default panel on every patient.

ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.

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.
