Therapy works best when you don't have to leave part of yourself at the door. With more than 25 years working with individuals, couples, and families, I help people navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and some of the passages that are hardest to put into words: infertility, pregnancy loss, maternal mental health, and the particular weight that women carry through seasons of life that rarely get enough support. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and my practice is open to people of all faith backgrounds as well as those without religious beliefs. Whatever you believe, you are welcome here.

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.

Choosing a therapist takes trust, and I believe you deserve to know who you’re working with.

Although I’m a male therapist, women’s issues have become one of my primary areas of expertise. During nearly eight years of counseling in Lebanon, Oregon, approximately 70% of my clients have been women, many healing from sexual trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, and major life transitions. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique struggles many women face while creating a safe, respectful space where they feel heard and supported.

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the people who matter most. My role is not only to listen but to help you identify what’s keeping you stuck and equip you with practical tools that create lasting change.

I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship conflict, broken trust, communication difficulties, and life transitions. Every person and relationship has a unique story, so I tailor treatment to your specific needs and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

As a husband, father, and therapist, I understand that life isn’t lived from the sidelines. Relationships require intentional effort, parenting can be exhausting, careers bring pressure, and life rarely unfolds as planned.

Together we’ll build on your strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop practical strategies you can apply outside the therapy office. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling understood, equipped, and confident in your ability to move forward.

Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, your marriage, or your family, I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment where meaningful change can happen. Healing isn’t about erasing your past—it’s about moving forward without allowing it to define your future.
