Who We Are

A clinic with a clear
purpose and a
specific patient in mind.

Xena Health opened in Henderson, Nevada as a direct response to what Cherie Little saw in her years of clinical practice: women in their 40s and 50s cycling through providers, receiving partial diagnoses, and leaving appointments without answers to the questions they most needed answered.

The clinic was built around a single organizing principle: menopause and perimenopause are the center of everything we do — not a subspecialty, not a side service. Every service radiates outward from that focus.

Cherie
Little

DNP, FNP-C, WHNP-BC, MSCP
Clinical Background

Cherie is a doctorally prepared, dual-certified Family and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. As a retired Air Force veteran, Cherie has experience in primary care, women's health, military medicine, labor and delivery, postpartum, medical-surgical/inpatient medicine, and aeromedical staging. She is compassionate and uses a holistic approach to treat each patient individually, and has earned a 5-star reputation as a quality provider.

The Path to Xena Health

During her experience as a Primary Care Provider, she met many patients seeking menopause treatment and specialist referrals for hormone concerns. Realizing a clear need for providers offering such services, Cherie became a credentialed Menopause Society Certified Provider (MSCP), and in 2023 Xena Health was created to meet the needs of women in the Las Vegas Valley seeking menopause treatment. Unique to Xena Health is Cherie's ability to provide holistic care from a primary care and women's health background with a menopause and hormone focus.

Certifications & Memberships

Cherie is board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), and board-certified as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner by the National Certification Corporation (NCC). She is also board-certified as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner through The Menopause Society. She maintains memberships with the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH) and The Menopause Society.

Why This Clinic Exists

Before founding Xena Health, Cherie spent years in clinical practice observing the same pattern repeatedly: women in their 40s and 50s cycling through appointments, receiving partial diagnoses, and leaving without the hormonal evaluation their symptoms clearly warranted. She built this clinic to be the answer to that pattern.

Where We Practice

In-person in Henderson & Las Vegas
Everywhere else, telehealth.

Xena Health is based in Henderson, Nevada — but quality menopause care shouldn't be limited by geography. We extend the same clinical standard via telehealth to patients across Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.

Telehealth at Xena Health is not a lesser version of in-person care. Lab orders, treatment plan management, follow-up visits, and ongoing optimization are all available remotely. Most patients outside Henderson never feel the difference.
