My Fiancé and I did premarital counseling with Lisa Strong and it was the best investment we could make in our future marriage! Lisa helped create a safe and comfortable environment for us to openly talk about ourselves, our relationship and our goals. She provided many different worksheets and tools to help facilitate honest discussions and conversations about potential barriers. If any questions or disagreements arose, we discussed them with her and she helped provide tips for better communication to create a resolution. Overall, my fiancé and I feel that we grew much closer and our connection became ever deeper through premarital counseling which is exactly what we were looking for. Lisa is the perfect person to help any couple improve their connection, communication and problem solving skills! read more

We had a session with Lisa Strong, and I just don't think she was what my husband and I needed in that moment. I have to admit, I was probably in a bit of a crisis mindset since our issues were bubbled at the surface, so it felt like the session was unorganized, which I know I contributed to that. She didn't get any information prior to our session, so it felt like she went in blind and didn't have any frame or reference to what help we needed. At the end of the first session, she gave us "homework" which I think would have been tremendously helpful had it been done prior to the first session so that my husband and I could organize our thoughts, and she could have some indication of the help we needed so that she could be most effective in the session. They don't take insurance, so paying cash for a session, you really want to be able to make the most of the money spent. I think bc of her unfamiliarity with our situation, she made some suggestions that were obvious and things we had already done. I also felt like she made other suggestions for things that were not issues we were seeking services for. My husband and I both felt like it wasn't the most effective session, but that is how therapy works! You keep "shopping" until you find someone you feel best with. I will say she was patient and calm, and did allow me to speak. She made sure to include all parties and really was solution focused. I think she can be very effective for some, I just think it was my poor demeanor related to the need for therapy that marred our visit. read more

Lisa has been tremendous help in navigating my relationships and friendships. She takes her time to really get to know you and your background and I found the homework helpful. Even after just a few sessions I was learning a lot and felt at ease. Highly recommend her! read more

If you're seeking a compassionate and deeply experienced coach to guide your family through challenging times, Lisa Smith is truly exceptional. Lisa brought wisdom, patience, and genuine care to every session we had with her. I was particularly impressed by her commitment to really understand and support the unique dynamics of our family. Lisa's ability to create an environment where every family member feels seen, heard, and valued is remarkable. We were having a really difficult time communicating with our tempermental teenage daughter, and Lisa was able to walk us through a practical yet heartfelt approach to healing and growth. What stood out most is that Lisa doesn't give up until your family feels whole and connected again. Her encouragement and team-oriented mindset make a real difference. If you want someone who will truly listen, understand your story, and help your family thrive together, Lisa Smith is the coach to trust. read more

Lisa Smith has been an incredible help to me and my husband as we navigate engagement of our 20-something son that is on the spectrum and living at home. Our relationship with him was completely disfunctional as we went about our lives, too busy to focus on what he needed to become a successful young man. We were allowing him to live under our roof, sleep in until noon, game all night, not work, not go to school, and collect an income. Through some very tough love, Lisa has helped turn our family ship around toward a more successful destination. Our sessions are as much about developing parenting skills as they are about teaching our son how to express feelings, communicate, and demonstrate good manners. I have seen substantial growth in a short amount of time and I appreciate Lisa for that. Thank you. read more

My daughter (age 30) and I were struggling with communication and keeping our cool as well as my resistance of releasing control and expectations. Thankfully, the insightful guidance and practical techniques provided by Lisa Smith has helped us to refocus and make good progress with just six coaching sessions. Now, we're communicating more effectively and handling conflicts calmly. Lisa is amazing!!! read more

Once in a lifetime, a human comes along who understands the deep needs of other humans and isn't afraid to deliver the "tough love" necessary to help them find the change they need. Lisa Smith came into our lives like she was driving a steamroller, leaning out of the driver seat, holding a sledgehammer, bringing with her years of invaluable wisdom that changed our lives for the better. Our family challenge seemed very specific and targeted toward one of our teens. However, after the first Zoom call, it was obvious that our issues were more complex and required some couples therapy and individual conversations with each of our kids. Lisa was empowering, inspiring me to improve our family infrastructure and to be a stronger leader in my household. She did not hold back, like ever. I have a new perception of my role in our home now, and my family notices the difference (dramatically). My wife has found her way through years of struggles and is starting to spend time on her own goals, not just the needs of me and our children. She hasn't had an anxiety flare-up in months. Our oldest had one-on-one conversations with Lisa. I don't know what she told her, but she's been kinder to us, and we've had so many memorable experiences I know we'll cherish forever. Our youngest is more aware of the circumstances she's put herself in, resulting in a new willingness to spend time with us and not exclusively with others who have nearly taken over her life. She's in the kitchen with her sister and laughing as I type, whereas a month ago, she would have been in a heated fight with us about going to another person's house or having another person come over and hang out behind closed doors. We're a work in progress, but the change is night and day. This wasn't therapy; this was a reality check, and it was worth every penny! read more

In times of crisis, there's no one better to call than Lisa Smith. The first time I hired her was almost two decades ago, when I felt helpless and hopeless about my relationship with my adult daughter in California. I flew from from my home on the east coast to California, got an airbnb, and Lisa came five days a week for two weeks to work with us, and miraculously, my daughter and I have not had a single argument since. In 2020, I enlisted her to help my grandson when COVID closed schools and he was struggling to do things virtually. Later that year, she worked with my daughter and grandson on their relationship. Last year, when my daughter had health crisis and my grandson needed support, I hired her again to help him get through the difficult time. Having someone who knows your family and is willing to go that extra mile is an invaluable asset. I highly recommend her. read more

Lisa Smith is awesome! There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for her. I am so glad our paths crossed, and I look forward to staying in touch for many years. She helped my siblings and I work through many years of trauma and guided us on how to communicate with one another. read more

Lisa is most insightful, thought-provoking, straight-forward, no-frills person I ever dealt with. It takes a confident and knowledgeable person to look straight in the eye and ask tough questions. And yes, she does ask tough questions. It's like cleaning your room. Before you can organize it, you have to bring out whole lot of dusty and cluttered things out first and make a mess. Then you put everything back in order. I really can't say enough about Lisa and her methods to sort out my mess in my life. She helped me with mending relationship with my daughter in a short amount of time and I'm so grateful! read more

My girlfriend and I were struggling with communication issues that were making our otherwise fantastic relationship hard to continue. We knew we needed help to find common ground in our different communication styles and needs. We found Lisa and signed on for (6) sessions to see what could be accomplished before most likely breaking up. Lisa was the calm neutral mediator and coach that provided us the safe space to listen to each other and share with each other what we both needed in our own individual ways. Lisa also gave us tools to use after the calls that still help us now on a daily basis. Lisa was fair to both of us; not taking sides, just listening and providing helpful feedback to help us discover why we were feeling hurt / triggered and how best to calmly talk about it with each other. We still have work to do and will most likely never be perfect communicators with each other; however, we are now certain that we have the insight and tools to continue to grow as a loving couple until death do us part. We both highly recommend Lisa and we will call on her again if we need a little more help in the future. read more

Lisa is a life saver. She is incredibly smart and intuitive, and knows the questions to ask to get to the root of family issues and problem dynamics. Be open to her suggestions and be willing to do your homework, and she WILL make a huge impact in your life. We had been struggling with my daughter's rebellion and lack of emotion for years, and working with Lisa brought immediate change to that by teaching us as her parents how to communicate with her. We will rely on Lisa for years to come and very much appreciate her insight. Very highly recommended! read more

Thank you, Lisa. read more

My daughter (age 32) and I just finished a series of sessions with Lisa Smith of Save My Family Today. A series of events and situations both good and bad (divorce, deaths, moves, marriage, family members on the autism spectrum) had us struggling to communicate with one another without somebody feeling hurt or misunderstood. Going through the coaching process was not a walk in the park. Lisa gave us some important (and dare I say brutal!) feedback on where we were getting hung up in our communications. After six sessions, my daughter and I are feeling lighter and more able to enjoy family time together. We have our parent-child relationship, but are also establishing a better adult-adult relationship. What we learned will also carry forward into how we communicate with other family members and friends. Lisa is well worth the fee she charges. After all, nothing could be more important than being able to support the people in our lives in a way where they feel seen, validated and loved. Thank you, Lisa for helping us to do that. read more

We loved working with Lisa Strong. As two exhausted parents, both working full-time, we needed some practical tips on how to handle the day to day with young boys ages 3 and 1. Not only did she help us get more organized around our tactical challenges (ex helping us come up with a menu plan to simplify dinner time), but she also provided strategies and tools to help us stay connected as a couple. My husband and I value our time together as just a couple, and she helped us find ways to prioritize that time in addition to and separate from family time. I appreciated the respectful challenges, and my husband and I especially appreciated the exercises around our marriage. Lisa was warm and thoughtful. We asked for homework and her assignments always sparked great conversation. We got the sense that she genuinely wanted to help us, and empathized with our situation. I'd highly recommend working with her if you need help with big picture family stuff, as well detailed or nuanced day to day family life. I wouldn't hesitate to call her again. read more

Can't say enough good things about Lisa Smith. She helped our family immensely. Before Lisa, we'd worked with other therapists, many of whom were excellent. However, only Lisa was able to pull us off the course of chaos that we'd been trapped on. Her approach is powerful. A mix of sound and intelligent advice delivered in a very direct and blunt way, The bluntness is off-putting at times, but in a good sense. She keeps you on your toes, holds you and the other members of your family accountable. Forces you to change, which is not always pleasant. But definitely necessary, at least in the case of our family. Most highly recommend Lisa Smith. read more

Lisa Smith has helped my family immensely! We were having behavioral issues with our teenage son and she helped us get back on track. I love her approach of dealing separately with each of us during first part of the session, and then having us come all together to discuss. She has given us tools to deal with our son and as a couple, and although I know more work needs to be done this gives us hope and we will continue working with her to keep us on track. Thank you Lisa!! We will be in touch soon!! read more

I reached out to Lisa, and the moment we spoke, I knew she would help "Save My Family." Her flexibility, patience, and compassion are reasons she is thriving. I highly recommend her. We appreciate everything you did for us! read more

My family is back on track after being in group coaching sessions with Lisa Smith. Raising three grandchildren ages 9-13 has its challenges. The "elephant in the room" was addressed with kindness, understanding, compassion, and at times tough love. Everyone had a voice on the matter. I recommend Lisa Smith when family life gets tough. Get through it together. Thank you Lisa. read more

What can I say.....Lisa Smith truly did help save our family. We were dealing with a lot of old and new traumatic issues. She helped us navigate through a lot of issues while keeping us calm and showing us how to listen to one another. She is brutally honest (in a good way) and we loved that about her. The difference in our family is amazing! Thank you Lisa!! read more

Lisa is patient & kind, I truly felt like she had my family's best interest in mind at all times. Grateful she helped us get back on track. read more

My family and Lisa Smith were brought together by fate! I was involved in a serious accident that had me hospitalized for several weeks. I wasn't able to spend much time with my family during this hospitalization. When I was finally discharged home, our family was in crisis. We have special needs children at home, and we felt like we were drowning. Lisa tailored our sessions to meet our families needs perfectly! She helped us identify problem areas and helped us implement tools to address these areas. Our situation was multi faceted and extremely unique. So much so, that previous professionals were unable to help us. After working with Lisa, our family is no longer in crisis and we are operating as a solid family unit! Thankful for Lisa and her role in our story! read more

Don't waste your time. Lacks confidence in her own ability. If looking for help with your kids or your family, there are plenty of better options. read more

Lisa Smith was very helpful when we reached out with parenting issues. One of the best things about Lisa is that she respects your time. She insists that we get directly to the issues in clear language and provides a lot of great ideas for working on them. read more

After consulting with Lisa Smith by phone, we scheduled an appointment. I ended up having to reschedule the initial appointment as my husband was out of town. Lisa emailed me some attachments before our appointment which I was unable to open. She tried resending it a few times and it still didn't work. She said this never happened to her before. I have never had an issue opening attachments before either. Because I was unable to open her attachments she texted me she did not want to work with our family anymore, offered to refer us somewhere else and cancelled our session. I was shocked at Lisa's lack of commitment to our family and her inability or lack of interest in trying to find a solution to me being able to receive her paperwork. This is a mixed review as I do look at it as blessing in disguise as this was done before we paid the $200 she charges for a 90 minute zoom session. read more

Our family was in such turmoil due to lack of communication and turmoil. We met with Lisa for a few sessions, where she helped us have more communication and openness After almost 2 years of estrangement, our family met yesterday for a family reunion. My grandchildren had a great time reuniting .. we know we have to continue to work on our communication skills and lead our conversation with love. Thank you Lisa. We couldn't have done it without you read more

After working with Lisa Strong 2 years ago (I had a wonderful experience with her), my daughter is now working with Lisa Smith. I can't express enough how grateful I am! It took Lisa few hours to understand my daughter's personality and her challenges and start working towards positive changes. Lisa is truly gifted and connected with my daughter very easily. If you have a teen, you know how difficult it is for teens to open up and be truthful. It has been a wonderful journey so far and I know my child is in good hands! Thank you, Lisa! read more

Lisa was highly recommended to me from another struggling parent, and I was so thankful I called her. She was able to come into my family and help all three of my teenage children as well as my husband and mostly myself. Lisa's ability to navigate our dysfunction and give us the tools to make the changes we desperately needed was immeasurable! I have referred Lisa to many families. read more

We are so incredibly grateful for Lisa Strong!!! She was so helpful and gave my husband and I the best tools to learn effective communication and how to be a great team together. She provided homework and also many things we could read and I really appreciate that in a counselor. We were actually sad when our last session approached with Lisa because we looked forward to always talking to her! She is so knowledgeable, patient, and holds each person accountable in the growth journey. We couldn't have been more grateful to have discovered her and we will definitely be using her for any time we need a check-in!! We loved Lisa and highly recommend her!!!! read more

Lisa Smith is a skilled, creative, compassionate counselor who intuitively knows what to bring to the situation at hand. We contacted her out of sheer desperation when dealing with an out of control teen. After seeking help from many outlets she gave me hope and tools to live through those years. I reached out again years later for my own serious trauma. She gave me the tools to change my life. It was a long difficult process and Lisa guided me through. Filled with gratitude. read more

My family had been going through a rough patch with one another and Lisa had helped us all so much to understand ourselves and one another. At the same time I had started to go through a really rough time in my life and I asked her if she would be open to one-on-one sessions. She, of course, welcomed me into these difficult conversations and helped me learn so much about myself and heal. After having 3 different therapists, I felt that Lisa truly helped me the most and I'm forever grateful to her. read more

I normally do not write reviews but in this case I felt that it was a must. I reached out to Lisa Smith earlier this year after encountering some behavioral issues with my 17 year old son. I felt that I needed some assistance to how best approach the situation. We booked six sessions all together. Lisa was extremely helpful, her approach and personality made it easy for my son to open up, and discuss how he was feeling, and talk about some of the challenges he was facing, bottled up feelings, and frustrations. Throughout our meetings, Lisa was transparent, professional, and her experience with working with teens help guide my son and I to open up and better communicate. I am great full that I reached out to her at such an important time in our lives. I most definitely recommend Lisa. read more

My wife and I met with Lisa during Covid and found her services to be great.

Highly recommend Lisa to any couple needing to work on their relationship read more

Coming to get life coaching from Lisa Smith was the best decision I have ever made. She walked me through a rough season of my life with care and grace but also loving tough truthfulness. Through our sessions together, we worked on more than just the season of life I was in. But rather the underlying issues that lead me to this place. On weekly basis she gave me homework that allowed me to tangibly work on and be intentionally aware of my thoughts, feelings, and actions so that I could move forward in a healthy manner. Through this time I have grown so much and I am able to continue with a healthier mindset and know how to handle what life throws at me in a better way than I ever have.

I couldn't agree more with every single Stellar 5 Star Review posted here. My particular situation is one of the most contested Custody Disputes most people have ever heard. I'm literally fighting to save my Family. I didn't know there was such a thing as In-home Family /Coaching. However after a half dozen Family Therapist, finding Save My Family Today was an answer to my prayers. There's no magic bullet here, no miracle worker, just a genuine emersion into your Specific Family Dynamic in order to help identify areas for all Family members to be heard and to experience personal growth. I've learned that some people can be afraid of change. Others could just be uncomfortable or incapable of being open, honest and vulnerable. If you think this is you, these might not the Coaches for you. However, if you are serious about improving your Family Dynamic i.e. "Change", and you are ready to be open, honest, exposed, and vulnerable, then these ARE the right people for you. Because they can help facilitate communication, begin the healing process. Which is ultimately what we all want for our family. Based on my personal experience, I couldn't recommend more fervently Save My Family Today than those here who recognize and appreciate the value that Lisa & Lisa bring to the family as much as I do. My Best -J.M.+4 read more
