Lisa Lisser
Attorney, Educator, Certified Divorce Coach, Divorced mom
“Where am I going to live?” “Will I be able to send my kids to college?” “Will I be alone forever?” “Do I have to go back to work?” “Who am I now?” These are the kinds of questions newly separated people ask. I would know and so would Lisa Lisser, a divorced mom and an attorney turned divorce coach. Lisa founded her coaching company, LZL Coaching a few years ago to help people going through a divorce (or before or after) focus on their core issues, develop an action plan, prioritize the kids, and rediscover their best selves.
Wait till you talk to Lisa. She has such a positive energy, and will instantly make you feel inspired and hopeful. Lisa makes you feel like you’re not alone, and will help you find your self-esteem and strength. Additionally, Lisa is a spiritual counselor with the goal of helping you heal your soul. Also, did you know that divorce coaching saves you money? Indirectly, hiring a divorce coach will help you make better decisions (which could affect the outcome of your divorce.) It helps you divorce SMART, so you aren’t so emotional in the business part of your divorce. Coaching also helps you minimize conversations with your divorce attorney, hence, saving you money. I am so excited to have Lisa as a Divorced Girl Smiling trusted professional! Welcome, Lisa!

About Lisa
I didn’t plan to get divorced. None of us does. But when it happened after 21 years of marriage, it rocked my world. Life would never be the same again. But slowly I learned how to move forward. I made mistakes, did better, made more mistakes, and succeeded in new things. I became a better version of myself. That’s the version of me that I bring to my work as a divorce coach every day.
My background as a lawyer and mom who has survived divorce gives me a perspective the other members of your divorce team simply don’t have.
My experience as a spiritual counselor gives me powerful tools that can help you climb out of the darkness and heal your soul.
My education background helps me understand where your children are developmentally, and how you can best support them.
And my 20 plus years of non-profit leadership enables me to mentor you so you can find the answers you need now. You are the leader of your own life! I’m here to tell you, you matter.
I’m Lisa Lisser, founder of LZL Coaching. Like many of you, my life story has many chapters. Here are just a few.
I practiced litigation in NYC before retiring to raise my three, now grown children.
While at home with my kids, I became passionately involved in non-profit communal work. I was a public speaker, an advocate, a program designer for both local and international programs, and an active participant on multiple non-profit boards.
A lifelong learner, I went back to school, earned my masters in Jewish education and became a certified spiritual counselor in the addiction and recovery space. I worked as a religious school educator and curriculum designer as well as an adult learning specialist and antisemitism awareness advocate.
When I learned about the world of divorce coaching, I realized that this was a field that blended my passion, my talents and my life experiences in a way that nothing had before, so I dropped everything and became certified as a CDC certified divorce coach.
With empathy and compassion, I will help reduce your overwhelm, provide you with a sounding board, and give you the confidence you need to move through your divorce with the clarity and courage you need to launch into the next stage of your life.
