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. She works out of the Boise clinic and lists menopause care as a main focus. The clinic combines functional medicine with conventional care. Patients can book women's health visits themselves online, and virtual visits are open to new patients in several western states.

Steady State Health is a virtual practice run by Josie Cowburn, a nurse practitioner who treats perimenopause, menopause, ADHD and metabolic health as one problem rather than three. Care runs by video for patients in Oregon and Washington, with labs drawn at a local site and a written plan sent a few days after the review visit. Patients can either use insurance for individual visits or buy one of the cash-pay programs, which bundle an advanced hormone and metabolic panel with the visits that interpret it. Hormone therapy is prescribed and adjusted over time, and ADHD evaluation and medication management sit alongside it because she treats the two as connected. She founded the practice after her own perimenopause symptoms were dismissed and her ADHD went undiagnosed for years, and she says she had to piece together her hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome herself. Anyone who needs a physical exam is referred out to a local primary care provider.

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.
Gennev is an all-virtual menopause clinic owned by Unified Women's Healthcare, and care starts with a 30 minute video visit with a menopause-trained doctor. Dunsmoor-Su is Gennev's chief medical officer and she also carries her own patient list. The areas she names herself include premature ovarian insufficiency, breast cancer risk and survivorship, endometriosis, and weight management with medication. Her background is clinical epidemiology, and she still runs women's health drug trials as a medical director at a Seattle research centre and teaches OB-GYN residents. She says she treats each visit as a chance to explain the current evidence so the decision about treatment is a shared one. Doctors here prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy when a patient is a candidate and non-hormonal medicines when she is not, and the clinic tells patients to steer clear of compounded weight drugs made outside FDA oversight.
Beyer is a Midi clinical leader and sits on the company advisory board, and she still sees patients by video. She trained in obstetrics and gynaecology, then dropped obstetrics to work on gynaecology and hormonal health only. Weight is her second focus and she holds a diplomate from the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She talks openly about gaining weight before her 50th birthday and losing 35 pounds over five months, and she uses that with patients who are struggling. Care runs through Midi only, so visits are by video and anything needing an exam or imaging goes to an outside clinician. Her page has no booking link of her own, so the Midi sign-up does not let a new patient choose her by name.
Bevin Meyer is a family nurse practitioner at Vancouver Clinic's Columbia Tech Center office in east Vancouver, seeing patients of all ages as a primary care provider. Her own profile names hormonal health and metabolic wellness among her clinical interests and says she is particularly passionate about supporting women through perimenopause. The clinic publishes nothing about which hormone treatments she prescribes, and no provider profile anywhere on its site names a specific therapy. She spent 11 years in hospital nursing before qualifying as a nurse practitioner. New patients can book with her through the clinic's MyChart online scheduling, and unlike most of her family medicine colleagues she is not listed for video visits. Her profile mentions she gardens, mountain bikes and trail runs, and that she recently finished her first trail marathon in Moab.
Dr. Ellingson is a family physician at Three Rivers Family Medicine, the rural health clinic attached to Three Rivers Hospital in Brewster. She has worked in North Central Washington since 2002, and for years that meant emergency shifts, deliveries, cesarean sections and hospital inpatients alongside clinic visits. She sees newborns through adults, and the hospital says she has found a niche in treating women through perimenopause and after menopause. On her clinician page at a Seattle menopause practice she describes ten years of working with women in perimenopause and postmenopause using bioidentical hormone therapy. She speaks Spanish fluently and has cared for a large Spanish speaking population her whole career. She is also the hospital's medical staff president and medical director of a children's foundation in Lesotho.
Dr. Williams is managing partner of The Oregon Clinic's all women obstetrics and gynecology office on the Legacy Emanuel hospital campus in north Portland. She joined The Oregon Clinic in 2014 when her own group Everywoman's Health merged into it. Her listed areas of focus include menopause and hormone replacement therapy including bioidentical, alongside full spectrum obstetrics, vulvar and vaginal dermatology, infertility and minimally invasive surgery. She is board certified in integrative medicine as well as obstetrics and gynecology, and she has training in functional medicine, acupuncture and homeopathy. The office keeps Saturday hours and takes new patients without a referral, and established patients can book some visits themselves in the clinic portal. She is a certified Pilates and GYROTONIC instructor and speaks fluent Spanish.
Tara Roeder is a nurse practitioner in primary care at Vancouver Clinic's Columbia Tech Center location, and she sees adults through the Internal Medicine department. Her clinic profile says she has specialized training in sexual health and menopausal management, and she is certified by the Menopause Society. The profile does not say which treatments she uses, and Vancouver Clinic publishes no treatment detail for any individual clinician. She also offers medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders, and she says she is interested in preventing and managing cardiovascular disease. Before nursing she worked as a marine and geoscientist studying how the Himalayas formed. Her page says she is not accepting new patients right now, and it also shows that virtual appointments are available.
Kasianchuk is a registered dietitian at Gennev, a virtual menopause clinic, so her work is nutrition and lifestyle counseling rather than prescribing. Gennev's doctors handle medication and hormone therapy, and she works alongside them with shared notes in the patient record. Her own page names weight management, bone health and cardiovascular health as her areas, along with sports nutrition and exercise physiology. A first visit with her runs 50 to 55 minutes and follow-ups run 30 to 40 minutes, usually every two or three weeks for at least three months, with text support in between. She also runs Gennev's lifestyle care program as its senior director of lifestyle care. Gennev's weight management track starts with the dietitian rather than the doctor and you can self-refer into it, while nutrition care in the general menopause track comes as a referral from your first doctor visit.

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.
Winston is a board certified obstetrician gynaecologist at Boston Medical Center. She sees patients at two sites, the main Boston campus on Harrison Avenue and BMC Brighton. Her hospital listing places her in obstetrics and gynaecology along with labour, delivery and postpartum care, so her published work includes deliveries and not only office gynaecology. Boston Medical Center publishes nothing about menopause, perimenopause or hormone therapy for her, and her profile carries no specialties list at all, while a colleague at the same Harrison Avenue office does list menopause. Her menopause certification from The Menopause Society is current, but her employer's site gives no sign that she offers menopause care. She trained in obstetrics and gynaecology at Marshall University in West Virginia after earning her osteopathic degree in Tennessee.
