Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy & Healthcare in Portland, Oregon

Compassionate, Inclusive Care for Trans and Non-Binary Folks

Gender-affirming healthcare is a vital part of whole-person medical care. At Willow Natural Health, Dr. Cori Burke provides inclusive, affirming, and culturally responsive care for transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse patients throughout Oregon.

Our practice is committed to creating a healthcare environment where patients feel respected, understood, and supported as their full selves. Care is individualized, collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in respect for each person’s goals, identity, and lived experience.

Dr. Burke believes in celebrating queer joy, honoring the full complexity of who you are, and supporting not only your health, but your ability to thrive.

Integrative Gender Affirming Care

Gender-affirming care is not one-size-fits-all. Every patient has different goals, timelines, health concerns, and support needs. Dr. Burke works collaboratively with her patients to develop treatment plans that align with your physical health, emotional well-being, and personal priorities.

At Willow Natural Health, Gender Care Services may include:

• Initiation of Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT)
• Ongoing hormone management and monitoring
• Lab testing and medication management
• Health optimization during transition
• Surgical referral letters and care coordination
• Trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming care

Whole-Person Care During Gender Transition

Dr. Burke takes an integrative approach that considers the full picture of your health, rather than managing GAHT in isolation. Hormonal shifts and medical transition can intersect with many aspects of health, including:

• Mental health and nervous system regulation
• ADHD and neurodiversity
• Chronic illness and fatigue
• Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
• Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
• Hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
• Chronic pain and sensory sensitivity

Dr. Burke recognize that navigating healthcare while managing chronic illness, past medical trauma, or gender dysphoria can place significant strain on the nervous system and overall well-being. Her goal is to create a space where communication is collaborative, respectful, and adaptable to your needs.

Comprehensive & Personalized Treatment Plans for Adults in Oregon

At Willow Natural Health, Gender Affirming Care is highly individualized and designed to support both physical health and emotional well-being throughout the transition process and beyond.

Dr. Burke currently offers gender-affirming care for adults, ages 18 and older. She is not able to manage puberty blockers for adolescents or children at this time. Dr. Burke recommends Doernbecher Gender Services and Randall Children’s Gender Care Center as resources for transgender and gender diverse youth.
