Hala Taylor is a family nurse practitioner who leads hormone therapy at Tacoma Integrative Psychiatry, a psychiatry practice in University Place. The team treats mood, sleep and hormone changes together, so menopause care sits right next to psychiatric care. Hormone therapy can include estrogen, progesterone or testosterone, given by mouth, patch or on the skin, and is adjusted to how you respond. Before this role she worked as a nurse in labor and delivery and emergency medicine, and she is now training as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. First visits last 60 minutes and can be in person or by video anywhere in Washington. New patients fill out an online request form and the office calls to schedule.
Dr. McKenzie is a naturopathic physician running a solo primary care practice in Kirkland, with menopause and sexual health at its center. She treats menopause symptoms with hormone therapy taken by mouth, through the skin or vaginally, and also prescribes testosterone for women after checking blood levels first. She is also a certified sex counselor, so painful sex, low desire and pelvic floor problems get as much attention as hot flashes. New patients are seen in the office for a full intake, and video visits are used afterward for lab reviews and medication check-ins. The practice runs a program on sex and intimacy after cancer and offers vaginal laser treatment for dryness after menopause.
Lyons Health and Wellness is a small clinic in the Colorado foothills town Megan Foreman comes from, and she started it after leaving corporate healthcare. It is a primary care practice as well as a hormone practice, so the clinician treating your perimenopause also manages things like thyroid and cholesterol. A first visit covers your history along with sleep, food and exercise, and labs are ordered at the end so the results can be gone over at the follow-up. The clinic prefers Biote pellets and explains why it favors them over daily creams and pills, though patches, tablets and creams are options, and it uses compounding pharmacies when a dose needs to be precise. Prescriptions go to the pharmacy you choose instead of being sold in the office, and hormone care does not require a membership. Before opening the clinic Foreman ran the disordered eating team at CU Boulder, and the practice does weight and metabolic care alongside hormones.

MyMenopauseRx is a virtual menopause practice founded by a gynecologist, and Krantz is one of about a dozen clinicians a patient can pick from. Visits are video appointments of about thirty minutes, and most patients come back every eight to twelve weeks until their symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone rather than compounded hormones, and the practice is clear that it works alongside a patient's own primary care doctor rather than replacing it. Testosterone is written only for patients located in Illinois, and everyone else gets the prescription from their own doctor while the practice manages the dosing. Krantz has practiced for more than thirty years in university, HMO, community health and telehealth settings, and she completed the integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona with training in medical acupuncture. She works from Oregon and says she has aged alongside her patients, which is how menopause care became her emphasis.

Toun Sogbein is a women's health nurse practitioner with Visana Health, a women's health practice that works entirely by video out of Minneapolis. She handles menopause and perimenopause along with the gynecological and sexual health problems that often sit alongside them, and she came to this work from public health clinics and a community health degree. First visits run 45 minutes, and patients stay with the same provider and can message the care team through the patient portal between visits. Visana's menopause care follows protocols written by Dr. Barbara Levy, and a patient can go the hormone route or a non-hormonal one after talking it through. Labs and imaging get ordered near home when they are needed, and optional health coaching covers food and exercise for anyone who wants that support. Many patients reach Visana through an employer or health plan, and the site has a start page where you look up yours.

Dr. Benkley is a naturopathic doctor whose practice centers on perimenopause and menopause. She sees patients in person at Mandala Medicine and Wellness in southeast Portland and by video anywhere in Oregon, Washington and New Hampshire. The first visit is a long intake followed by labs. She lays out the full treatment plan at a follow-up about four weeks later. Treatment can include menopausal hormone therapy, non-hormonal medications, supplements and lifestyle changes, with attention to long-term heart and bone health. She does not do primary care, and her practice openly welcomes queer, non-binary and trans patients with ovaries.
Alana Berdiyev founded this Camas clinic and personally manages every hormone patient, while an RN colleague handles most of the cosmetic work. She trained in hospital surgical and oncology care before opening the practice, and she treats perimenopause and menopause with bioidentical hormones, testosterone and testosterone pellets. Every plan starts with a full hormone, thyroid and metabolic panel, and nothing is prescribed before the results are back. Follow-up labs guide dose changes, and patients need to be seen in the office at least once a year to stay on her care. Unusually for a hormone clinic, it bills insurance for hormone visits and labs. She also offers laser and PRP treatment for vaginal dryness and stress incontinence, plus pessary fittings.

Dr. McManus is a naturopathic physician at Health Moves, a clinic of several naturopathic doctors in Woodinville. Her stated focus is women's health, perimenopause and menopause, and hormone management. She also works with Hashimoto's and other autoimmune thyroid problems, which often show up alongside midlife symptoms. New patients can book an hour-long first visit online, either at the office or by video. The clinic bills insurance for visits and adds a small administrative fee that covers messaging with the care team between appointments. The clinic website calls her Tina, while the booking calendar lists her as Christine.
Kate Behning runs a solo gynecology practice in downtown Seattle that she opened after leaving a healthcare corporation over its limits on abortion care. She has held Menopause Society certification since 2013 and follows its guidance closely, so she prescribes standard hormone therapy but not compounded hormones or pellets. Visits happen in her office or virtually by video, phone or portal message. She is not a primary care provider and asks patients to keep one for non-gynecologic care and routine screening labs. A longer menopause consultation can be added to an annual exam but is billed as a separate visit. She describes her style as plain explanations with no upselling of trendy hormone treatments.
Dr. Hanan founded Prevail Wellness Center and is both a naturopathic physician and an acupuncturist, so some patients get acupuncture as part of their care. The clinic centers on perimenopause and menopause, and it also treats thyroid problems and midlife weight change. The first visit is a long conversation about symptoms and history, with labs ordered only when they will help, and you leave with a clear plan. She prefers FDA approved hormones and uses a compounding pharmacy when a patient needs a dose or form those products don't offer. Before opening the clinic she worked as a primary care doctor in integrative clinics. New patients can book online, and visits can be done by video for anyone living in Washington or Oregon.
A virtual women's specialty care platform for complex hormonal, metabolic and gynecological conditions, where menopause and perimenopause sit alongside PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disease, fibroids and primary ovarian insufficiency. Each patient is assigned one medical provider, either an obstetrician-gynecologist, an endocrinologist or a women's health nurse practitioner, plus a registered dietitian, and stays with both. Care starts with a 30-minute medical visit and a 45-minute nutrition visit, broad hormonal and metabolic labs, then check-ins every week or two. Prescribing is optional and patient-directed, covering transdermal and oral estradiol, micronized progesterone, a non-hormonal drug for hot flashes, weight medication and thyroid replacement, and a separate arm ships custom-compounded medication to patients.

Kristen Santana is the women's health nurse practitioner at Functional Medicine of Idaho, a clinic with locations in Boise, Meridian and Eagle.

Kelly Perisin is a nurse practitioner at MyMenopauseRx, a video-only practice that treats nothing but perimenopause and menopause. It was started by a Chicago-area gynecologist and bills insurance like a regular office. Visits take about 30 minutes on Zoom, and you can book the same clinician every time and message the care team between visits. Kelly came to menopause care from weight management and urgent care, and she draws on that when helping women with midlife weight gain. The practice prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone sent to your own pharmacy, and it prescribes testosterone directly only for patients in Illinois. It is meant to work alongside your own primary care doctor, who still handles anything that needs a physical exam.

Dr. Farook is a family physician who started this small Edmonds primary care practice in 2023 with a physician assistant. She sees patients of all ages and names women's health and menopause among the areas she cares most about. She is also board certified in obesity medicine and certified in psychiatry and addiction medicine, which is an unusual mix for a family doctor. The practice bills insurance, offers telehealth and same-day visits, and does procedures like IUD insertion and endometrial biopsy in the office. The site has no separate menopause program, so this care happens through regular office visits.
