Dr. Carrie Skinner, ND

About Me:

I am practicing medicine in order to to serve my community as a physician, health consultant, advocate, and researcher.  

After graduation from the National University of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, I was very fortunate to achieve a residency position with Dr. Tori Hudson at A Woman’s Time.  I completed a three year integrative residency, specializing in Women's Health and serving as a Primary Care Physician.  I was very fortunate to complete rotations with allopathic (MD’s) and naturopathic physicians (ND's) in gynecology, gastroenterology, neurology, endocrinology, cardiology, primary care, and transgender medicine--with Dr Suzanne Scopes, formerly of Circle Healthcare Clinic.

Practice Philosophy:

I am a ‘middle of the road’ physician, with a practical, common-sense approach.  

I strongly believe that there is a time and place for many types of medicine and healing, from meditation to pharmaceutical prescriptions, from hydrotherapy to chemotherapy and surgery. It all depends on the individual patient, their health goals, and what therapies they are willing to invest their time and energy into.

Each person is so unique- there is never a ‘one protocol fits all.’ I will always strive to present as many options as I believe are appropriate for you. You and I will work together to find the best possible solutions that fit YOU and your life, beliefs, and health goals.

My goal is to provide each patient with all of their options, and let the patient lead the process. Each therapy has benefits and risks, possible side effects, financial cost, and energetic investment. I strive to empower each person with this knowledge- and provide choices that will help them achieve each health goal at their own pace, with the methods that feel right for them.

I will advocate for you to receive thorough, informed healthcare from all of your practitioners. You are your best physician, and I am here to inform you of preventive and effective options along the way.
