I’ve gained broad experience through filling various roles in three different county mental health agencies in the state of Oregon over the past twelve years. I work with individuals age 14 and up and tend to work with many in the helping professions as well as first responders. I use ACT and DBT interventions and my goal is for you to feel truly seen and heard in our sessions, and to create an environment where you feel safe and supported.

Therapist

My clients are the “overthinkers” in the world...with big feelings that are hard to explain. They feel misunderstood, lonely and isolated while striving to please others at the expense of themselves. They’re exhausted, overworked, and over-stressed, feeling like they’re never enough. They have a vision for life, but aren’t sure how to bring it together, especially after a life-changing event. They're also eager for change.

Does this sound like you? If so, I warmly welcome you to my practice.

Tenea Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I've spent 14 years working with people who are dealing with things that don't have easy answers — addiction, trauma that won't stay in the past, chronic illness, grief, and the invisible weight of caregiving for someone else. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based on the Oregon coast, and I work with adults across Oregon via telehealth. I'm direct, warm, and a little bit funny — therapy doesn't have to feel like a performance. I'll tell you what I actually think, ask you questions that get somewhere, and we'll adjust the approach based on what's actually helping you. I treat anxiety, OCD, depression, PTSD, substance use, and a range of life transitions — including the ones that hit when you're already tired.

Therapist

You don't have to keep holding everything together.

You're the one everyone depends on. You show up for your family, your relationship, your work, and everyone around you—but somewhere along the way, you may have lost touch with yourself.

If you're exhausted from overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, or constantly putting yourself last, therapy can be a place where you finally get to slow down, breathe, and focus on you.

I'm Lourdes Conde, LMHC, LPC, a licensed therapist in Florida and Oregon with 10 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, grief, and major life transitions.
