Therapy

We now offer gender affirming care at all 35 PPMM health centers! 

To book an appointment, you can call or book online. For online booking, please find the nearest health center, click BOOK ONLINE, and enter "Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy" as the reason for your visit.

• Feminizing Hormone Therapy including estrogen and spironolactone
• Masculinizing Hormone Therapy including testosterone

We may be able to start or continue hormone therapy and provide referrals for gender-qualified therapy and resources if needed. If you are on hormone therapy, you can utilize the health center for ongoing care and monitoring.

In order to receive gender affirming hormone therapy services you need to be over 18 (or 16-17 with parental consent) and capable of providing consent for services. There are special consents for these services.

At PPMM, we strive to serve every patient to the best of our abilities. We are not currently able to prescribe puberty blockers or gender affirming hormones therapy to youth under 16. Transgender and gender diverse youth are welcome to access the rest of our services, including birth control, STI testing and treatment and more.

Youth who are interested in puberty blockers and/or gender affirming hormone therapy are currently advised to get a referral from their Primary Care Provider (PCP) for services at one of the following:

• UCLA Gender Health Program
  • Website
  • (310) 267-4334
     
• UCSF Child and Adolescent Gender Center Clinic
  • Website
  • (415) 353-7337

Both of these clinics have multidisciplinary teams for supporting transgender and gender diverse youth and their families.

Both accept most insurance plans - with PCP referral - and both offer telehealth appointments, which may make the service more accessible for those unable to travel to Los Angeles or San Francisco.
