Dr. Garavente has a special interest in caring for women in their forties and beyond with a focus on menopause, sexuality and overall quality of life.

“I’m struck by how once our childrearing years are behind us, we should be aware of taking better care of ourselves: listening to our bodies, exercising, eating well, developing mindfulness, sleeping more restfully, enjoying our love lives and remembering what makes us joyful,” says Dr. Garavente. “My mission is to empower women to come full circle and feel like themselves again.”
