Our Approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy

At Equitas Health, we believe our role is to help our trans and gender non-conforming clients live authentically. Too often, health care providers who serve the trans community act as obstacles rather than facilitators. That’s why we administer Hormone Replacement Therapy via an Informed Consent Model. This means that at our clinics, you do not need prior approval from a psychiatrist or therapist to start HRT. In addition, our approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy is Non-Binary Affirming. Our providers will listen to you and help you map out a HRT regimen that will help you reach your goals, rather than force you down a path better suited for someone with a binary identity.
