The Midlife Training Institute

Midlife Training Institute (MTI) provides practical, evidence-informed training to help licensed mental health and allied clinicians support women navigating perimenopause and menopause. The organization addresses a gap in professional education: many clinicians encounter midlife hormonal transitions in practice but have limited training to recognize their effects on mood, anxiety, sleep, cognition, identity, and relationships. MTI equips professionals to identify common clinical presentation patterns and offer menopause-informed psychological care with greater accuracy.

MTI offers two coordinated courses. Foundations 1: Screening & Collaboration teaches clinicians to recognize perimenopause and work effectively with primary care, OB-GYN, and behavioral health professionals. After completing Foundations 1, participants can take Foundations 2: Advanced Clinical Practice, which develops treatment skills using evidence-based models. The courses are intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, therapists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and physician associates, social workers, and other clinicians serving adult women. Training includes case studies, practical recommendations, handouts, interactive components, and knowledge checks. MTI also provides a complimentary mini lesson demonstrating a commonly missed early cue of perimenopause.
