After years of experience in a large medical practice, Dr. Alicia Robbins realized that traditional care didn't allow enough time to truly address the evolving health needs of women—especially after having children and transitioning into midlife.
She founded The Elm to provide the personalized attention and comprehensive support she wished existed: a practice focused not just on routine gynecological care, but on essential areas often overlooked—sleep, nutrition, hormonal health, weight management, sexual health and overall quality of life.
At The Elm, the philosophy is simple: women's quality of life matters. By thoughtfully blending traditional women's healthcare with the Robbins Method TM, The Elm offers modern, proactive and expertise care tailored to each woman's unique needs, in order to thrive in the second part of her life.
The Elm, founded by Dr. Alicia Robbins, is a boutique women’s health practice which offers personalized care to women in New York and Connecticut. We are here as an alternative solution by providing seamless access and unrushed appointments.

about the Robbins Method™
Dr. Alicia Robbins developed The Robbins Method™ after recognizing a clear gap in women’s healthcare—particularly the lack of structured, comprehensive guidance available to women in midlife.
Driven by the belief that every woman deserves a methodical but yet personalized approach to feeling and living her best, Dr. Robbins designed this method to ensure each patient's foundational health is optimized before thoughtfully introducing hormone therapy and advanced longevity treatments.

We begin by carefully assessing your nutritional balance, essential health markers, and overall wellness. Ensuring this strong foundation allows you to approach the next steps with stability and confidence.

Care That Keeps Evolving
At The Elm, we believe your care should evolve as you do. That’s why The Robbins Method™ combines standardized protocols for preventative GYN health, as well as hormone and longevity protocols that are not only current, but ahead of emerging treatments.
Dr. Robbins regularly attends or speaks at leading medical conferences, reviews emerging research, and updates clinical protocols in real time to reflect the most advanced approaches in hormone therapy, longevity, and women’s health.
Because we deserve better than outdated protocols and one-size-fits-all care.
“Women’s health is constantly evolving, and I believe our care should evolve with it. My role is to stay on the leading edge of science so our patients can feel confident they’re receiving the most current, effective, and thoughtful care available.”
Dr. Alicia Robbins
“Hormone therapy can profoundly transform a woman's quality of life. It’s not simply about managing symptoms—it’s about empowering women to reclaim control over their long term health and make them great years”

Hormone Therapy Experts
Hormonal Health, Personalized for You.
At The Elm, our clinicians are specialists in hormone therapy, offering accurate, nuanced assessments to determine candidacy for treatment. All our clinicians are certified by The Menopause Society and undergo extensive mentoring and training in The Robbins Method.
Many of our patients come to us having previously been told they're ineligible for hormone therapy. We frequently find that women have received incorrect or overly generalized guidance elsewhere, and and we're proud to consider ourselves the leading experts in midlife care in Fairfield County..
Our protocols are continuously updated as new research emerges — so you can feel confident that your care reflects the most current and effective approaches in the field.
Consistent Care Across The Elm Team
Your Care, Our Method, Always Consistent.
At The Elm, every clinician is extensively trained in The Robbins Method™, ensuring consistent, expert-level care throughout the practice.
Dr. Robbins works closely with each member of the clinical team to mentor, guide, and continually refine our protocols—ensuring that every patient benefits from her expertise, no matter which clinician they see.
Through this collaborative model, you’ll receive personalized attention and a clear pathway to optimal health and wellness at every visit with one of our clinicians.
