About Me
Hi, I'm Lisa.
My mission is to provide high quality, evidence-based tools to meet the unique needs of individuals and families living with or loving someone with borderline personality disorder or high emotional sensitivity who want to create a life worth living. I also help empower coaches and therapists who want to help their clients do the same.

My story
Nice to meet you...
I’m Lisa Bond, a DBT skills coach and master at matching clients with the best providers in my referral network.
I’ve been a daughter, niece, wife, second-wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, caregiver, friend, mentor, nurse, teacher, and now coach. I have led large volunteer organizations within school and church settings, and developed and run intensive out-patient and partial hospital mental health programs. I created and continue to run a private coaching practice that thrives.
But I’ve also been afraid, hopeless, bullied, shamed, used, criticized, excluded, abused, and taken advantage of. I have experienced depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and anorexia. I’ve made mistakes, experienced profound regret, grief, shame, loneliness, body image concerns, ageism, emotional abuse, invalidation, and exclusion.
What I do...
My life’s work is to create accessible, evidence-based resources for those trying to understand the borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis, make sense of the associated behavior patterns, and learn to regulate emotions to improve relationships and quality of life.

These are a few of my favorite things
Dirty Dancing
I love the song, "I've Had the Time of My Life"!
Springstein’s “Born to Run” and “Man in Motion” the theme from St Elmo’s Fire.

TOFINO
We stayed at the Wickainnish Inn at the very tip of Vancouver Island. The scenery was beautiful and we saw otters in the sea and bears wandering down the road next to the cars.

60's and 70's Tunes
I saw Rod Stewart live in Boston Common wearing a granny gown and tinted glasses and I know all the lyrics to Tommy the rock opera by the Who.
Time with my granddaughter
We enjoy going to the zoo and try to do as many behind-the-scenes adventures as possible. We have a sleepover date every Saturday night!
Talking to animals
If I could have any super power, I'd talk to animals, Dr. Doolittle style.

Jimmy Fallon + James Corden
It's a toss-up! I love them both.
