“I am very pleased and grateful to have been paired with Lucon!! He was able to see me in an extremely timely way, at a time when I was in deep need of help. He is generous with his gentleness, kindness, patience, and knowledge. He was able to help me make so many connections on who I am and why I think the way that I do, and gave me solid tools to help me navigate everyday life. He also quickly adapted to my personal learning style and needs which I am eternally grateful for because his knowledge could 'stick' with me better and more thoroughly. It also reflects how highly emotionally intelligent he is. I am truly grateful for his time, his knowledge and his strong hearted passion for helping people in their lives. Thank you so much Lucon, you are such a blessing!!!”

Getting to know Lucon Rigaud
Lucon is a highly qualified and compassionate licensed psychotherapist based in Brooklyn, NY, and Massachusetts, MA, offering digital consultations through Headway and C &L Mental Health Services LLC. Fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, he provides accessible, culturally responsive care toward diverse communities.
Lucon brings a unique academic base, combining a Master of Science in Education with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling from St. John's University and a dual Master of Arts in Theology and Biblical Studies from St. Joseph Seminary & College. With over 12 years of experience as both a parish priest and a psychotherapist, he has guided hundreds of individuals on their voyage toward self-exploration and meaning through evidence-based therapeutic practices.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Are you feeling dissatisfied despite your hard work and achievements? Are obstacles hindering your progress, leaving you struggling with fear or uncertainty about what you truly desire?
Lucon is here to partner with you as your copilot on the road toward meaning, healing, and wellness. His mission is to help you overcome mental health issues, challenges, and realize your personal and professional ambitions through evidence-based practices and, when you choose, spiritual integration. Through fostering a helpful, collaborative therapeutic relationship, Lucon helps you build lasting resilience & achieve comprehensive well-being.
Lucon uses a joint approach that enables clients to be active partners in their therapeutic journey. Working with a college student experiencing academic stress and perfectionism, he utilized cognitive therapy methods to identify unhelpful thought patterns and establish achievable goals—the result: a significant decrease in anxiety and elevated academic performance by semester’s end.
In another case, Lucon supported adult clients navigating grief after losing a loved one. Through narrative therapy and mindfulness strategies, he helped the clients deal with complex emotions and develop adaptive coping mechanisms, resulting in greater emotional stability and improved daily functioning. Utilizing an integrative CBT framework informed by his unique academic background, Lucon provides effective, compassionate care for clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, perfectionism, and educational stress.

Lucon showed me that a kind Hatian man can be a good person to talk to your problems about, but seriously, he's kind, patient and you can tell he really appreciates his craft.

I call him Dr. Riguad.?? we worked together as partners in my care. He guided me to see me. Dr. Riguad helped me to explore my past—why I am the way that I am so that I can move forward.
After utilizing the tools he gave me to rid myself of anxiety, depression ,isolation and self loathing, I am moving forward to self love.
I continue my services with Dr. Riguad because there is still work to be done. Family, work, social anxiety, and happiness .
It took three therapists before I found one that works for me. I’m finally getting the help I need and I feel Great!??

I have had a fantastic experience with my therapist, Lucon Rigaud over the last few months. He listens with empathy and provides you with tools and techniques to navigate through your problems. He takes time to understand your thoughts, emotions and helps you reflect on them. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I attended therapy with Lucon for close to a year to work on managing my anxiety and to help understand and learn more about myself. The work that we did within that year not only helped me learn how to manage my anxiety, but I also learned and started understanding more about the anxiety I would experience. He was patient, receptive, and an active listener. He helped to guide me to some positive resolutions about myself. Lucon is very good at what he does and as he was recommended to me, I would also recommend him to others!

Lucon is a fantastic listener with a keen ear for understanding what you're going through. He is a great sounding board for getting things off your chest, hearing you, and sensing how you are feeling. He gives you good guidance along the way, sound advice & repeats things back to you in a way in which you feel he is "getting you." God bless you!

Lucon was recommended by a friend of mine when I had experienced a loss. We focused on my grief and techniques to overcome it. He helped me to find different ways to cope with my loss and has helped me find myself again. He is encouraging, supportive, and wise. I have come so far and have learned so much from Lucon. I would highly recommend him.
