Breakup Therapy + Coaching
Expert Support To Help You Heal, Grow, and Move Forward
Heal Your Heartbreak, One Step at a Time
As a breakup recovery expert specializing in breakup coaching to help you heal from heartbreak… I get a lot of questions.
“Dr. Lisa, how can I get over a breakup? I need to let this relationship go, but I can’t. Can I get back with my Ex? I can’t stop thinking about my Ex. I follow them on social media and it’s killing me. I want to contact my Ex, but know I shouldn’t. Why am I obsessing about my Ex moving on? Should I be friends with my Ex? How do I get over a broken heart? I just want to feel like myself again. Please help.”
In my experience, the very first step of healing is to get clarity. Clarity about what’s really going on under the surface. Clarity about what the path forward looks like. And then (often, only then, can you start moving forward.)
I’d love to create that clarity for you. Here’s access to a free session with me, where I walk you through it all.
You’ll know what’s going on. You’ll know the next steps. And you’ll get access to all the support we have available for you here including private sessions with licensed therapists who specialize in breakup recovery, our private support group, weekly group coaching calls, and access to the step by step program that will gently guide you through every step from where you are now, to the healing and happiness you deserve.

Positive, Empowering Breakup Coaching
Spinning Your Wheels in Therapy? Here’s why…
Here’s what no one tells you:
Breakup recovery isn’t just about time — it’s about transformation.
If you’ve been trying to “move on,” but still feel stuck in your thoughts, your feelings, or your past, it’s not because something is wrong with you. It’s because true healing after heartbreak requires a process.
In my experience, traditional therapy for breakups just isn’t that effective. (Trust me, I’m a therapist, and attempted to help people through conventional therapy for too long). You can spin your wheels for years in insight oriented talk therapy that rehashes the past, without actually growing, feeling better, or moving forward.
To move through this productively requires a different approach. Talking about it, processing feelings, getting new insight is absolutely part of this. But there’s so much more that needs to be happening. 45 minute sessions once a week are simply not enough.
That’s why I created an entire system designed to help you stop ruminating, stop spiraling, stop obsessing… and start getting clarity, confidence, and direction.
Here, you get wrap around support. Sessions with a therapist who get’s heartbreak recovery inside and out, and who has the specialized training and experience to help you.
You’ll also get access to more support, including a breakup support group and weekly live group coaching calls to give you insight, direction, and community in addition to your 1:1 sessions.
But you’ll also get clarity. There is a step by step process to moving through this productively, and specific actions that you can take that will help you get through this as quickly as possible. That’s what helps you learn from this, grow from this, and most importantly: use this as an opportunity to make real and lasting change that leads to the love, happiness and success you deserve.
Your Healing Can Start Right now.
Stop Spiraling. Start Healing. Get Connected.
Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby:
The Accidental Breakup Coach
I became a marriage counselor to help people heal their relationships.
To fight for love. To repair what was broken.
But I quickly learned a hard truth:
Not every relationship can be saved.
Some shouldn’t be.
Again and again, I sat with people in the wreckage of a breakup — after betrayal, heartbreak, or the slow unraveling of something they once believed would last forever.
They were grieving.
Spinning.
Stuck in pain that time alone couldn’t touch.
I tried to help them the way I was trained: traditional talk therapy.
And it didn’t work.
They kept coming back, week after week, still obsessing over their ex. Still ruminating. Still hurting.
And I realized… so was I.
Because what I was doing wasn’t helping them get free.
So I went deeper.
I started researching the psychology, biology, and neuroscience of love and attachment.
What I discovered changed everything:
Love is addictive.
Bonding is biochemical.
And heartbreak is a kind of withdrawal.
This understanding — backed by research — became the foundation for a totally new approach to healing. I identified the nine stages of breakup recovery, and created a step-by-step process to move through them with intention, support, and real progress.
This became the basis for my book, Exaholics: Breaking Your Addiction to an Ex Love…
It became the framework for the Heal From Heartbreak™ program…
And it’s now what I teach to the expert breakup recovery coaches on my team.
This work has helped thousands of people stop hurting and start healing.
Not by “moving on” — but by moving through.
Through withdrawal.
Through grief.
Through anger, shame, regret, longing, and finally…
Into clarity. Into confidence. Into emotional freedom.
If you’re here, you’re probably still somewhere in that process.
You might be stuck — and that’s okay.
Most people are, until they get the right support.
But you don’t have to stay there.
