Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Salem, OR

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.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

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.

I work with people feeling unsatisfied with their current life and emotional situations, looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, connection, and/or balance in their lives. I help find the connection between their thoughts and feelings. I explore how desires manifest themselves as: depression, anxiety, fears, disinterest, grief, low self-esteem, etc. I also explore how these impact their body.

I often use the attachment style as one ways of looking at your personal situation. This helps you as we explore your specific style of attachment, identifying barriers you wish to change or overcome. I am person centered and walk together with you on this journey of discovery and health. I focus on limbic regulation.

I work with a variety of cultural backgrounds, drawing from my own diverse heritage. I specialize in communication, complex emotional situations, history of loss, conceptualizing and creating plans to measure progress toward mental and emotional well-being. Your time is your life, your success, and your independence.

I am an outcome-driven therapist who will work with you to start feeling like your best self. If you feel like you are stuck in the same patterns that aren’t working anymore, I will help you to explore new ways of approaching goals and relationship patterns and actually implement them into your daily life. I have over 10 years working in healthcare settings including 7 years in clinical mental health settings. Outside of therapy sessions, I enjoy being in nature, spending time with my dog, running, cycling, and creative pursuits.

If you're feeling stuck, challenged, or noticing yourself repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many people reach a point where they feel unsure about how to move forward or how to live in a way that feels more aligned with who they truly are. Together, we can work through these burdens and begin exploring what may be keeping you from experiencing the life you want. If you're not sure what your goals are or what might be preventing you from moving forward, that is a perfectly valid place to begin—or continue—your path toward change, clarity, and healing.
