Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Rhode Island
29 practitioners have an office in Rhode Island, and 39 more can see patients here by telehealth. 35 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Providence, Warwick and Pawtucket.
Thrive Psychotherapy and Wellness is Jennifer Phillips's talk therapy practice in Warwick. She is a clinical social worker, so what happens here is counseling rather than medical treatment, and nobody at the practice prescribes hormones or manages hormone therapy. She spent years as a medical social worker at a women's hospital in primary care and then in the women's oncology and breast health program, and that background shapes how she works with women going through cancer, surgery and hormonal change. The site lists a women's hormonal health section, but that page says it is still under construction and points visitors back to the general psychotherapy offerings. Online scheduling is open to established clients only, so a new person starts by sending a referral or waitlist request.
Zaluski is one of three clinicians in the Midlife Care Center at Women & Infants Hospital, a consultative menopause program that sits inside the hospital's gynecology specialties group. Patients reach it on a referral from their primary care provider or gynecologist, or by calling the clinic directly. The stated work is evaluation and treatment of hot flashes and night sweats, vulvovaginal problems such as dryness and painful sex, and preventive care for women in midlife. The team's own page invites women to come in and talk through hormonal and non-hormonal options, including women already on hormone therapy who want to review what they are taking. Alongside the menopause work Zaluski keeps a general gynecology practice, with listed interests in abnormal uterine bleeding, cervical dysplasia and vulvovaginal health. Zaluski also sees patients at two other Care New England offices.
Carolyn Bernstein is a headache neurologist at the Osher Center for Integrative Health in Chestnut Hill, which is the Brigham's integrative medicine clinic. The Mass General Brigham profile describes a practice built on migraine and headache disorders, backed by a subspecialty certification in headache medicine. The profile lists membership of the North American Menopause Society and names hormonal headache among stated interests, but no page Mass General Brigham publishes describes menopause care or hormone therapy as care delivered here. The clinic's own service list runs to acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage, mindfulness training, health coaching and neurological conditions with headache called out, and names no menopause or hormone care at all. The Brigham's menopause programme sits in a different suite of the same building and is staffed from gynecology and endocrinology. Bernstein wrote The Migraine Brain and teaches neurology residents and Harvard medical students.
