Lorie Tensen

Life is exhausting right now, isn't it? Maybe you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, aging, relationship changes, work stress, financial anxiety, or the general heaviness of being alive in today's world. Maybe you don't quite recognize yourself anymore. I'm especially drawn to working with midlife women who are ready to make sense of what's happening and figure out what comes next. My practice also welcomes Black women who've experienced medical or mental health racism, LGBTQ+ folx, and racially or culturally displaced adoptees exploring identity, reunion, and belonging. You all belong here.

I specialize in midlife, perimenopause, and menopause, including the anxiety, brain fog, identity shifts, and relationship struggles that can come with them. We'll untangle unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping strategies, and explore what you want this next chapter to look like. No fixing you. Real conversation, useful tools & room to be human.

I'm a straight-talking, compassionate therapist who believes you deserve to be heard, not judged or told who you should be. We'll bring honesty, curiosity, a little humor, and real-world wisdom to the work. You don't need to have it all figured out before you walk through the door. Let's start where you are and go from there.
