Lisaura Lozada-Goode

I’m Lisaura, and I’d love to support you in your journey.

I blend talk therapy with the mind-body connection and movement to help you feel more at ease in your body, communicate with more confidence, and connect more deeply with yourself, others, and God.

My path into this work started with a deep curiosity about human behavior and a desire to understand why we do what we do. After studying Psychology in Puerto Rico, I followed my passion for movement and dance to Chicago, where I completed a Master’s in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling. That training continues to shape how I work, bringing together thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations to support meaningful, lasting change,

At the heart of my approach is the belief that we’re wired for connection and created for relationships rooted in safety, love, and belonging. I draw from attachment theory and somatic practices, while taking a whole-person approach that honors your mind, body, and spirit.

In our work together, we’ll explore not just what you’re thinking and feeling, but also what your body may be holding. Through conversation, curiosity, and (when it feels right) simple movement-based practices, I’ll support you in understanding your patterns with more compassion and less judgment—so you can begin to relate to yourself in a new, more grounded way.

If your Christian faith or cultural background is important to you, we can include that in a way that feels natural and meaningful. As a Latina and bilingual therapist, I also offer sessions in Spanish (or Spanglish!) so you can express yourself fully and comfortably.

You want deep, meaningful relationships—but something keeps getting in the way.

On the outside, you might seem like you have it together, but internally, you often feel anxious. You find yourself overthinking conversations, replaying how you showed up, or wondering if you’re doing enough. At times, you get pulled into people-pleasing or perfectionism, wanting connection, but finding it hard to fully relax into it. Wanting to rest, but feeling like you have to earn it, which leaves you pushing through exhaustion.

And you feel it in your body, too. Tension, discomfort, or a sense of being “on edge” can make it hard to feel present or grounded—in your relationships, at work, or even in things you used to enjoy.

Part of you is ready for something different.

You want to feel more connected to yourself, your body, and the people in your life. You want to trust yourself, express your needs with confidence, and feel more at ease in your own skin. You long for relationships where you feel seen and valued, without losing who you are in the process.

The good news is that you can begin to feel more like yourself again—and you don’t have to do it on your own!

Working together will feel collaborative, supportive, and gently guiding. We’ll create a space where you can feel met as you are, while also moving toward the growth and changes you’re hoping for.

At times, we may slow things down to notice what’s coming up—not just in your thoughts and emotions, but in your body, too. This can help bring a greater sense of presence, clarity, and connection to your experience.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others, including what you learned about relationships and emotions early on. As these patterns become clearer, we can begin to loosen the ones that no longer fit—making room for new ways of relating.

Over time, it may begin to feel more natural to set boundaries, communicate more openly, and make choices that feel more aligned with who you are. There can also be more space for rest and self-care, without as much guilt.

If you’re ready to feel more at ease with yourself and more confident in how you show up in your relationships, I invite you to reach out. I’d be honored to support you.
