About Laurel Wolcott, CNP

Welcome! I’m Laurel Wolcott (she/her/hers), a queer identified Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) and the founder of Q Care New Mexico, a practice dedicated to providing compassionate, gender-affirming hormone therapy for trans, gender-expansive, and non-binary individuals. I opened Q Care in September 2024 with the vision of creating a supportive, inclusive, and affirming space where every person can access the care they deserve. 

I’ve been a nurse practitioner for 4 years and worked as a registered nurse for 6.5 years prior to that. My certification in Women’s and Gender-Related Care allows me to offer specialized services for individuals navigating gender transitions.

My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care and shared decision-making, ensuring that your unique needs and preferences guide your treatment plan. I focus on individualized hormone therapy that centers your identity, your goals, and your well-being.

About the Clinic.

At Q Care New Mexico, I believe in shared decision-making, where your voice and choices are central to the care you receive. I offer a sex-positive, informed consent approach, which ensures that you have all the information you need to make the best decisions for your health and well-being. Above all, my practice is built on the foundation of queer community care — a place where you are not just a patient, but a partner in your own care journey.

I’ve lived in Albuquerque for 14 years and am deeply committed to this community and to providing compassionate care that is informed by community values. My goal is to offer a safe, affirming environment where you can explore your health needs and take control of your gender-affirming care in a way that feels right for you.
