Professional statement

Lisaura Lozada-Goode is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist located in IL. She works with individuals and couples, and specializes in helping adults improve their relationships. Many of the clients that Lisaura welcomes into her sessions want to have healthy, loving relationships but find themselves attracted to relationships that result in feelings of rejection, distrust, confusion, frustration, and loneliness. They want to work with a therapist who is experienced in relationships and can help them reevaluate their needs and wants as well as connect to others in meaningful ways.

Lisaura’s specialty is dance/movement therapy in both individual and couples’ sessions, which is a form of therapy that incorporates and uses body movement to understand and help integrate emotions, experiences, and beliefs. Lisaura guides clients through intentional movement that can help them become more open to experience new feelings and perspectives. With a newfound body awareness and by learning from body cues, Lisaura helps clients reflect on their current relationships, identify the patterns that lead to distress, and create change that feels more embodied and integrated. Clients are assured that they aren’t alone in their wellness journey and that they have Lisaura’s support as they grow.

Lisaura takes a curious and compassionate perspective in her sessions. She encourages clients to engage in self-exploration so they can get a better sense of who they are, particularly when they begin to make changes in their relationships. Lisaura loves helping couples understand what prevents them from feeling securely connected in their romantic relationship or marriage, and discover how to create and nurture new bonding moments. Throughout their therapy experience and work with Lisaura, clients begin to develop trust in their intuition, decision making, and feel more confident in themselves and their romantic partnerships.


Message to clients

You are in the same room yet feel miles apart. The one who used to understand every glance and gesture now seems like a stranger. The chilling silence between you and fighting “for nothing” has become exhausting. Feeling disconnected from one another, misunderstood, and rejected is extremely painful and leaves you feeling lonely when you are not alone. It doesn’t have to be that way.

My name is Lisaura, and I am a licensed clinical counselor and dance therapist specializing in relationship counseling. Whether single, currently engaged, or married, you are here because you want to have a healthy, long-lasting relationship. I can help you break from painful relationship patterns and create change by becoming more embodied.

I will guide you in experiencing the connection between your mind, body, and spirituality, and helping you slow down is my superpower! I often encourage you to practice listening to your body to help clarify and regain trust in your emotional needs, boundaries, and choices. By identifying and working through the barriers disrupting your intimacy with your partner, you will learn to create new bonding moments together.

Let me know if you are looking to integrate your faith and culture through Christian-based counseling or therapy in Spanish! I can do both.

Join me for your complimentary 15-minute consultation and take the next step toward your desired joyful relationship! I look forward to collaborating.
