Comprehensive contraceptive counseling to find the method that fits your life.

What is this appointment?

Who Should Have a Birth Control Consultation?

Anyone considering starting, switching, or better understanding their birth control options can benefit from a consultation.

Many hormonal contraceptives also offer benefits beyond pregnancy prevention, such as managing painful periods, PCOS symptoms, or acne, so it’s worth discussing your full health picture.

What's Included in a Birth Control Consultation?

  • Health and Lifestyle Review – A conversation about your medical history, lifestyle, and family planning goals.
  • Method Options – A review of hormonal methods, like pills, patches, rings, injections, IUDs, and implants, and non-hormonal options like the copper IUD or barrier methods.
  • Personalized Recommendation – Guidance on effectiveness, ease of use, and side effects to help you choose the right fit.
  • Ongoing Management – Support if you need to start, switch, or troubleshoot your method over time.

How Birth Control Counseling Can Help

With so many options available, finding the right method can feel overwhelming. A consultation gives you a clear, personalized comparison instead of guesswork.

We take a holistic approach, considering not just pregnancy prevention but how your method may affect your cycle, skin, mood, and any existing conditions.

And if your current method isn’t working for you, we’re here to help you find one that does.
