Stephanie Arotin

Aspire Mental Health is Stephanie Arotin's own psychiatric practice in Indiana County, and menopause care sits alongside the mental health work rather than replacing it. She is board certified as both a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and a family nurse practitioner, which is how a mental health office ends up prescribing FDA approved hormone therapy. Her menopause page is aimed at women whose hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog and mood changes are tangled up with hormonal shifts. A first visit runs about an hour and follow ups are half an hour, with medication, nutritional supplements and lab results reviewed along the way. She asks that initial evaluations happen in person even though later visits can be virtual, and the online booking tool lets a new patient pick hormone replacement therapy as the reason for the visit. She also offers genetic testing to gauge how a patient is likely to respond to psychiatric medications.
