2626 South Loop West, Houston, TX

Candra is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who is funny, driven, loyal, compassionate, and, most importantly, a human being who genuinely cares about people. I strive daily to serve clients who need support reaching their goals in life.

Whether you are a teen trying to find your way, a struggling college student, navigating corporate America, a single parent juggling it all, or an overachiever who needs permission to rest, I am here to help meet your needs. Not everyone needs medication. Sometimes, people simply need someone to talk to who actually cares, listens, and understands. Others may need assistance with medication, and that is perfectly fine too. When medication is appropriate, we will work together to find an option that best meets your individual needs. I provide an integrative approach to mental health care that is holistic, realistic, practical, and safe. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, a breakup, a bad grade, a failed marriage, job loss, or simply a difficult season of life, I can help. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and clear about your next steps. Healing isn’t a solo journey, and I’m here to walk it with you.

Lorenza Kondo

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience, dedicated to helping individuals find balance, clarity, and confidence in their lives. I primarily work with women who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in cycles that no longer serve them—whether in relationships, career, or how they view themselves. Many of my clients are navigating the emotional impact of life transitions like menopause, body changes, and weight management, often in silence and without support.

As a trilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (Portuguese, Spanish, English), I offer a compassionate and culturally sensitive space. I understand how culture, language, and generational expectations can shape the way we experience mental health, body image, and self-worth.
