“When I first reached out to Lisa, I was in a dark place. Past trauma experiences were causing PTSD flashbacks and the world seemed unsurvivable. I was at the end of my rope and desperate. Every morning I woke up with panic attacks and intense fear of facing the day.

As a trauma survivor herself, Lisa knew exactly what I was going through. She was patient and attentive in hearing my story and more importantly, seeing me. Her sincere caring was apparent from the first session, and I felt like I had a true ally in my journey toward recovery. Lisa is open-minded, smart, compassionate, and dedicated to her craft and her clients. Throughout the entire process of my recovery, I felt supported and heard. Lisa checked in with me throughout the week and I felt her presence with me always.

Lisa had a multitude of strategies and approaches to help my recovery, but what was most helpful was her willingness to take the time to get to know me and get to the root of my issues. I never felt rushed with Lisa and I never felt like she was eyeing the clock.

After working with Lisa for a period of a few months, I am now in one of the best mental places in my life. Work is going well, I am teaching martial arts again, I am back in shape, and I am enjoying my life and my family.

I always felt that my recovery was what was most important to her. As I emerge from my darkness and step into the light of a new life, I will forever be indebted to Lisa for what she has done for me and we will always be connected.

Lisa… thank you, my friend! I owe you my life.”

“I reached out to Lisa during the most difficult times in my life. My husband had been diagnosed with dementia, I was leaving my career of 25 years to care for him and in the midst of selling our home to be able to relocate out of state.

 

I sought out a trauma specialist as I knew that my past had caught up with my current state and I was afraid of a major mental breakdown due to high levels of depression and anxiety.

I feel so fortunate to have found Lisa. From the beginning, she met my panic, terror and fear. She addressed my crisis and gave me specific tools to get me to lower my emotional stress. She guided me in understanding that my trauma had physical and emotional effects. What helped me the most was her willingness to share her experience and how she had been able to heal from trauma.

Since the time I started working with Lisa, I have made profound progress. I see how my trauma drove me most of my life and I am able to make better choices and have come to love myself.

Lisa is a trusted trauma specialist to whom I am deeply grateful for.“

My symptoms were so bad I was thinking of harming myself and was on the verge of being checked into a 30+ day program. I needed help and found Lisa. She made herself available most any time and was extremely accommodating to my schedule. She went above and beyond to do more than just listen and talk with me but to actually help me understand not only what I was dealing with but how to handle it and heal while moving forward. I would absolutely recommend her for those who need help in a heartbeat!!.“

She’s so flexible with what I feel I need and when, she’s always there for me with guidance. I never thought I would be seeing a therapist, never thought I needed to, but whether it’s work, relationships or just trying to better yourself there’s always something she can help with. Even if you feel you don’t need any support, seeing a therapist for at least a year is a great way to make sure you’re on the right track! Lisa is the way to go! Thank you Lisa for everything, it’s truly appreciated!!“

“I first met Lisa Guillot through my doctor’s referral due to my admission of suicidal thoughts after having experienced the worst trauma of my life. My first impressions of Lisa were kindness, a focused listener, and she had a clear understanding of my emotional state related to being diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. After she shared her journey through trauma and her methods of recovery, it became clear that her desire to give back to those needing this special guidance was a serious commitment to caring about others. Trust was quickly established, and I entered a new door of self-discovery.

I believe that I have accomplished more self-awareness and a real road map for behavioral change in the short time that I’ve been her client than all the prior years of psychological counseling. Her guidance led me to realize many of my past problems were associated with compromised emotional development during childhood from trauma and its effect on facing the challenges of adulthood. The importance of self-compassion in facing mistakes or perceived failures breathes new life into an injured soul, and Hope is born.

Lisa is a reliable partner in my journey for emotional healing.“

– O. F., Sacramento, CA

“Lisa has helped me in ways I did not think possible. Her understanding that everyone is unique and they need different tools and methods to heal has been most helpful. I have not had that option in the past. Her knowledge of different methods is extensive and impressive.“

– M. L., Sacramento, CA

“I have always confided in Lisa with what is happening in my life. Whether it be past or present issues, she always listens with an objective mind. I trust her and I feel safe from judgment when I talk with her. She is very accommodating with her appointments and is flexible.“

– A. B., Metairie, LA

“I’ve seen Lisa a little over a year. She has been such a source of strength. I have deep anger- turns out fear and Rage- turns out… I turn into a reptile (lizard brain- fight, flight, freeze/fawn). :o) I’m finally learning to love myself better. I’m setting boundaries in dating, I’m for the most part dealing with my very narcissistic ex and his Spiritual Abuse better. I can get out of rage faster using “heart math”. However, with all the progress- I still have very hard and dark days but Lisa is my champion and cheerleader. And now I absolutely consider her a good friend. She is very intuitive and heartfelt. I honestly think knowing her is saving my life. I love you Lisa – you’re helping me to believe in love and helping me be accountable to some poor trigger responses- when I feel like no hope- you give me hope. I highly recommend Lisa!“

– Jennifer

“In the darkest times of our marriage, when the word ‘divorce’ started to feel like an inevitable conclusion, we found Lisa Guillot through a recommendation from close friends. Calling it mere luck would be an understatement; Lisa was a lifeline thrown to us in a tumultuous sea. From our very first meeting, Lisa exuded a deep sense of caring and understanding that immediately made us feel heard and valued. Even in moments where our discussions became heated, Lisa’s professionalism and warmth not only diffused the tension but also brought a smile to our faces, a rarity in those days.

 

Lisa possesses a remarkable ability to listen intently without taking sides, yet she is unafraid to call us out when necessary. This balanced approach helped us build a strong bond of trust with her over time. She provided us with insights into the dynamics of our relationship and guided us through the healing process with unmatched expertise.

 

Perhaps one of the most telling examples of her dedication was an evening when we were spiraling into conflict. Lisa made herself available for an impromptu session that ultimately brought us back from the brink. Despite our initial reservations about virtual sessions, they proved to be incredibly engaging and effective, breaking down barriers we didn’t even realize existed.

To anyone on the fence about seeking Lisa’s guidance, let our experience be your reassurance. Lisa Guillot is not just a relationship specialist; she is a healer, a mediator, and now, a cherished ally in our continued journey together. We have not only retained our marriage but have seen it flourish in ways we couldn’t have imagined, thanks to her.

 

We’ve already recommended Lisa to another couple, and we will continue to do so. Lisa, we could not have gotten here without you. Thank you. You’ve not just saved our marriage; you’ve enriched our lives!“

The heavy baggage that once dragged me down with the burdens of the past has been lifted, allowing me to move forward with a lightness and clarity I never imagined possible. Through Lisa’s guidance, I’ve not only managed to shed these weights but have also opened myself up to forming new, meaningful friendships that enrich my life in ways I couldn’t have anticipated.

The positive changes in me haven’t gone unnoticed; my boss recognized a new spark in my demeanor and capabilities, entrusting me with an important project that marks a significant step in my professional journey. This newfound confidence and direction are things I once thought were beyond my reach, yet here I am, living a reality that’s a testament to the profound impact Lisa has had on my life.
