Weight and mood care in Pompano Beach
Thyroid, sleep apnea, and insulin resistance are medical, not 'mindset.'
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Mental health weight programs have to diagnose binge-eating and depression, not just count almonds.
IV weight support is not an indication we treat with drips.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Pompano Beach (Broward County) has about 112,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 28 minutes from Pompano Beach Pier and the Atlantic Boulevard corridor.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Pompano Beach include Old Pompano, Cresthaven, and the beach barrier island. ZIP codes 33060, 33062, 33064, 33069 map to this service-area page.
Labs as indicated.
Screen restriction, binge, purge, laxatives.
What we rule in — and rule out
Depression/anxiety driving intake or inactivity.
Patients asking for GLP-1 who also have a psych history.
PMDD-related intake changes.
Wellness & Weight Management still needs screening.
How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Wellness & Weight Management
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.
Functional labs (TSH with free T4/T3, ferritin, vitamin D, sex hormones, hs-CRP) are ordered when the history for Wellness & Weight Management suggests a medical contributor. Normal labs do not rule out a DSM-5-TR diagnosis.
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.
Pompano Beach FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?
After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.

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.
