Lorie Tensen

About

Lorie Tensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon whose work centers on mental health, menopause, and helping women navigate midlife and aging vibrantly. With a passion for making menopause education accessible, inclusive, and empowering, Lorie is dedicated to helping women better understand the physical, emotional, psychological, and identity shifts that can accompany this significant life transition. Her approach recognizes that menopause is more than a collection of symptoms; it can be a profound period of personal transformation, self-discovery, and opportunity for growth. She is particularly committed to serving Black and Brown women and individuals born with ovaries who belong to historically marginalized and underserved communities, recognizing the importance of culturally responsive, affirming, and accessible support. In addition to providing psychotherapy to clients in Oregon, Lorie offers menopause-focused coaching, consultations, and educational resources through her website, Menopause & Beyond. These non-therapy services are available to individuals throughout the United States. Lorie's mission is to help people feel informed, supported, and empowered to embrace the next chapter of life—not simply to get through menopause, but to move beyond it and age vibrantly, confidently, and with a little more joy.
