Testimonials

When we first met Lisa for counseling, my husband and I were in crisis and in pain because of what addiction was doing to our adult child. We were confused and afraid. Lisa gave us new eyes with which to see the situation. She informed us about trauma, adoption and addiction. She guided and supported us in taking care of ourselves. She gave us resources and encouragement. We grew a great deal through our counseling with Lisa. She is one of the most informed, capable and effective counselors I have met. I am grateful for her professionalism and compassion. -MLC
I have met very few people who have the knowledge and understanding regarding the complexities of adoption and relinquishment as Lisa Coppola has. An adoptee herself, and living through the challenges that many adoptees face, I don’t think that there is an adoption related issue that LC hasn’t heard or studied. She truly understands and knows how to guide clients with adoption through the process of search and reunion

Jennifer Eckert, LICSW, Founder of Boston Post Adoption Resources
I can say unequivocally that LC is one of the best therapists for adoptees and their families, as well as anyone going through a major dna discovery, that I have ever worked with. She is always the first person I refer clients to.

Erica Kramer, M.A. former Director of Intake at Boston Post Adoption Resources
When I got my ancestry results back, the world and life I knew changed. There was so much new information to wade through, and possibilities with newly discovered family to consider. I cannot express enough how helpful it was to work with LC during this time. She was right there with me through the process, and understood what I was experiencing.

Joshua, former client
I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Lisa in the field of addiction treatment. She is empathic, caring, and able to combine her clinical skills with lived experience in a way that allows her clients to feel safe and heard.

Jim Gambino, LADC, Licensed Addiction Counselor
LC created a space where I could work through small and large questions about relationships and identity and get to know myself better. I am extremely grateful for the time I spent working with her!

Isabelle, former client
I can't think of a more empathic, thoughtful, and insightful clinician than my colleague Lisa Coppola. Her ability to provide insight and promote healing makes her an invaluable resource to anyone seeking help.

Jon Cohan, CADC, 2022 recipient of Massachusetts Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse “Counselor of the Year” and co-host of The Right Mind Media Podcast
When I joined LC's writing group in 2019 it was my first time in community with other adoptees. The group became a space for me to explore my feelings about being adopted for the first time, and through a medium that I love. LC creates a warm, open space for exploration and healing, and her writing prompts open a portal into the heart of what it is to be adopted. I felt safe to be me, and to write about things I'd never put into words before.

Sasha, former client
LC is comfortable on that fraught journey of unearthing those parts and pieces of our history that so desperately need the sunlight. She is creative and compassionate in face of addiction and distress without orienting around pathology.

Odessa Dwarika, MA, Certified Trauma and Resilience Practitioner and former Chief Program Officer at Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health
She holds a space of curiosity and compassion and brings out the best in people through connection, humor, down to earth energy and creative therapies.

Maya Rogers- Bursen, LMHC & Owner of Chandani Post Adoption Counseling
LC is an adoptee with so much heart and wisdom
