Exercise and depression: prescription vs punishment
Thyroid, sleep apnea, and insulin resistance are medical, not 'mindset.'
Wellness & Weight Management for Sunrise patients
Nutrition psych weight is the overlap of intake patterns and DSM-5-TR diagnoses.
IV weight support is not an indication we treat with drips.
What we rule in — and rule out
Patients who want monitoring, not a challenge.
OSA plus weight plus mood.
Wellness & Weight Management still needs screening.
Weight change tied to psychotropics.
Credentials and method
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.
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 does not publish fabricated star ratings. Patient stories on this site are process descriptions, not purchased testimonials.

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.
