I was struggling to find a therapist for a while, and in my very first session with LuJuana, I felt a heavy weight lift off my shoulders. She made me feel heard and I knew right away I had found a great therapist.
I've been seeing LuJuana for around 9 (possibly 10) months now and I can proudly say that I have become a completely different person, for the better. LuJuana never makes me feel judged, but instead validates me and works on realistic goals and actions that help guide me to becoming the person I want to be. It's important to feel support when dealing with mental illnesses and life in general, and I can confidently say LuJuana provides a safe and comfortable environment. Every single therapy session, I walk away feeling much better and feeling hopeful to work on my next steps. It feels a lot easier to accomplish my goals with LuJuana as my support every week. I'm extremely grateful for her and I genuinely do not know where I would be without her.

More about LuJuana Lightfoot, LPC
Everyone can use a little help when things get complicated; conflict is a part of everyday life. Therapy is a space to genuinely connect and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your emotions, your experiences, and your thoughts. Making the decision to start therapy can be a hard one. Whether you're looking to work through trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, or difficult emotions, my goal is to help you reach your highest potential while supporting you through any barriers or obstacles along the way.
I am passionate about working with teens, adults, and emerging adults. Over time, I have developed a deeper empathy for individuals within these populations, spending a great deal of my time as a therapist helping them. I integrate an empathetic and collaborative approach to therapy, walking alongside clients on their personal journey.
I earned my Bachelor's degree from Tennessee State University, followed by a Master's and PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University. My goal as a therapist is to empower and support you throughout your personal journey. I strive to provide a safe, nurturing environment that allows you to feel comfortable while developing the skills necessary to lead your life in more meaningful ways and to better understand and respond to your emotions.

LuJuana has been an absolute blessing to work with. The whole process of getting a therapist can be difficult, but LuJuana made sure the process was smooth. I have been a client for almost a year and she has made me discover so much about myself but also my past experiences. LuJuana makes sure you grow through the process and lets you set the pace of your session. LuJuana always makes herself available and is very flexible with timing.

LuJuana has been an amazing support in my journey this far. She is helping me tackle things I’ve never want to talk about or acknowledge, and releasing myself from those has been one of the greatest feelings

LuJuana is incredible! She listens, makes great suggestions, asks great questions, and really allows me to think about who I am, where I'm going, and where I want to be going.

I just started going to therapy and I have a hard time opening up to anyone and have had a hard time in life but when I get to talk about things that are bothering me stressing me out or something about anxiety she is there and helps come up with things to cope with any problems and tries to help problem solve with me as well. Honestly thought therapy was going to be a waste of time but after we are done talking I feel more relieved and clear minded. So glad I found this safe space to talk to someone.

I personally believe she’s simply awesome for lack of a more professional way to put it. She’s never pushed for more than I was ready to give, and I love the fact that she doesn’t immediately take my side in a story just because I’m her client. During our sessions I also always feel like she truly has my best interest at heart. To make a long explanation even shorter she’s a great individual while also being great at what she does.

Great listener and offered great advice.

LuJuana is a great therapist. I have had trouble connecting with others in the past. But she makes the space feel comfortable and she’s not just sitting there listening but giving good advice and genuinely cares

Words cannot express what an amazing experience I had with Lujuana! She has amazing bedside manner. She's a very compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable, caring person! She helped give me my life back again! She went above and beyond on multiple occasions to ensure that my mental health was stable and improving! I highly recommend her if you're seeking treatment!

LuJuana really helped me repair my relationship with my husband and my kids, through honestly doing the work on myself, recognizing changes I needed to make to be a better individual, mom and wife, and processing experiences to make sense of them, as I was interpreting alot of things wrong and also not aware of alot of things. She has been very helpful. Thank you

I've been going to therapy with LuJuana since February and she's always on time. I initially just wanted to start healing childhood traumas but she's went above and beyond and has helped me create boundaries, help me identify my emotions, and she even checks up on me on days we do not have a meeting. I was never the type of person to be open to therapy because I believe I didn't need it but after nine months of therapy I can definitely see changes in my behavior and overall, in life. Having LuJuana as my therapist, I feel safe and it feels like I have a best friend I can call and talk to if anything happens in my life that impacts me. I love the bond we have.

Lujuana is a very nice and caring therapist. I've been seeing and/or having telehealth calls with Lujuana for a while now. I feel very comfortable talking to her about my anxiety, anxiousness, and depression, which I have often.

My experience with you Ms. LuJuana, is that you are the only person I know, that understands what a person is going through in their life. And the advice you give is always positive, also I do enjoy talking to you.

I have been seeing LuJuana for a couple of months now and I definitely feel like we immediately established a safe space for us to talk. Since I’ve started seeing LuJuana I’ve been able to better manage my anxiety and depression and have seen a lot of personal growth. I highly recommend LuJuana for anyone looking to make a change in their life.

I have had trouble in the past connecting with therapists until I had my first appointment with LuJuana. I don’t have to wait when joining my appointment. She has also been pretty flexible with my schedule as I don’t have a consistent work schedule.

LuJuana has been very helpful in managing my mental health. She is easy to talk to and helps me set clear goals to keep me on track/make the progress I want to see.
More than 1 year agoTB
LuJuana has been great. I was very hesitant to therapy as a man, but she has provided a space I feel safe in, non judged, and always supported. I count on her to be a listening ear, and she never fails to hold me accountable. I learned it’s ok for me to have feelings because of her and I feel strong in having a voice now
More than 1 year agoRG
I have been working with LuJuana for two years. She has helped me get past a lot of childhood trauma that just put a hold on my life every single day. I am thankful for LuJuana. Together , we have done a lot of work for me to heal, she has been a great support, and now I just feel “present” in my life. Thank you
