ABOUT

MY STORY

For over 25 years, I've dedicated my career to helping people rebuild their lives after emotional trauma.

I’m Lise Leblanc, trauma recovery coach and author, helping men heal from toxic relationships, rebuild confidence, and find emotional freedom.

Throughout my career as a therapist, mediator, and coach, I noticed a consistent pattern: men suffering in silence after toxic relationships, often lacking the support and resources they needed to heal. Society frequently overlooks or minimizes the emotional damage men experience from psychological abuse, particularly from narcissistic women.

What began as a mission to fill this gap has evolved into my life's purpose – providing men with the specialized support, practical tools, and compassionate guidance they need to recover and thrive after toxic relationships.

Today, I focus exclusively on helping men gain clarity about their experiences, rebuild their confidence, and find closure after relationships with emotionally abusive partners. My personal experience and my background in psychology, education, and leadership informs my unique approach that combines therapeutic depth with practical coaching strategies.

I believe effective recovery requires both understanding and action. 

MY APPROACH

THERAPEUTIC INSIGHT

Drawing from my background in psychology and mental health therapy, I help men understand the psychological dynamics behind toxic relationships and process their emotional experiences.

PRACTICAL STRATEGIES

Healing requires more than insight—it demands concrete tools and tactics for rebuilding. My approach emphasizes actionable strategies you can apply immediately to your life.

MALE-SPECIFIC FOCUS

Men often process relationship trauma differently than women. My programs are specifically designed to address the unique challenges men face when recovering from toxic relationships.

EVIDENCE-BASED METHODS

I integrate proven approaches from trauma recovery, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotional regulation techniques that have demonstrable results for post-relationship healing.

HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE

True recovery encompasses all aspects of life—mental, emotional, physical, and social. My programs address each dimension to support complete healing.
