Lorie Tensen

Lorie Tensen

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I’m Lorie—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a woman at midlife, a multiracial person who identifies as a Black American, a transracial adoptee, a mother of two adult children, and the employee of two dogs and a cat.

I work especially well with adults who are navigating the complicated, sometimes messy business of being human. If you’re 21+, a “Woman of a Certain RAGE,” or simply ready to live your life more intentionally, we may be a good fit.

Maybe you need a place to breathe, vent, make sense of things, or find a little direction. We can talk about menopause, aging, work, relationships, identity, politics, family, or the weight of daily life. You don’t have to arrive with a neatly packaged problem.

I especially welcome people from marginalized communities, including Black women who have experienced mental health or medical racism, LGBTQ+ folx, and racially or culturally displaced adoptees exploring reunion, identity, family, and belonging.

You’ll get Midwestern honesty mixed with compassion, humor, curiosity, and a little saltiness. I believe you deserve to be able to show up as your whole self—without having to perform, apologize, or explain away your lived experience.
