MiM Medical Team

We are more than women’s health advocates – we’re mothers, sisters, friends, and daughters who’ve seen firsthand how the challenges of menopause can turn lives upside down.

In a sea of opinions, stigma, and falsehoods, we want to be the bright spot that empowers you with credible information. Menopause is different for everyone, and it changes over time. Treatment is no different - it’s not black and white. Our only goal? Helping you feel like yourself again.

Psychology, Women's Midlife Health

Dr. Danette Conklin, PhD

Dr. Danette Conklin practices Clinical and Health Psychology and is the Director of Behavioral Health and Weight Management at a leading academic medical center in Cleveland, OH. She specializes in the management of psychological and health aspects of early, peri and post menopause. She has a Fellow designation from The Menopause Society.

Dr. Conklin has dedicated her career to diversity, equity, inclusion, and women’s health. Her published research highlights the disparities in menopausal care for minorities and women with mental illness and highlights how different social, racial, cultural, economic, and clinical factors impact the severity and duration of menopause.

A key way to help overcome the disparities – whether they result from systemic issues, implicit bias, or patients' own reticence – is education.

I love working with women in perimenopause and menopause because I know I'm able to make an impact on their lives. I would love for all women to know that they have options and don't have to settle for a decreased quality of life.

Urology, Pelvic Health

Anna Myers, CNP

Anna is a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner who enjoys caring for women with sexual health issues and urological concerns. Her expertise and research focus areas include pelvic floor pain, incontinence, genitourinary symptoms of menopause and other menopause-related conditions.

Anna is a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH) and a Certified Sexuality Counselor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (ASSECT). As someone who is in perimenopause herself, understands how challenging this time can be.

Menopause frequently brings along issues that women are embarrassed by, which prevents them from taking symptoms seriously and prioritizing their health. It’s normal to be scared of some things that come along with menopause, but women don’t have to suffer in silence - or at all.
