About Lisa Bollow

I help teens and adults navigate the lasting effects of trauma, chronic stress, emotional neglect, and burnout. Many of my clients appear high-functioning — meeting deadlines, caring for others, and keeping up with responsibilities — but often feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their future.In therapy, we address:*Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation*The impact of unresolved trauma on daily life and relationships*Feeling “stuck” in cycles of avoidance, perfectionism, or overachievement*Difficulty feeling safe, connected, or understoodMy approach blends neuroscience, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed care to help clients regulate their nervous systems, process difficult experiences, and build the skills for lasting change. I use EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness-based interventions within a compassionate and structured framework tailored to each person’s pace.I also work with active-duty service members, veterans, and government employees who face the unique pressures of service, mission-driven work, and high-responsibility roles. These clients may experience:*Hypervigilance or difficulty “turning off” after work or service*Challenges with trust, reintegration, and identity after role transitions*The weight of cumulative stress or moral injury*Maintaining performance while managing hidden emotional burdensIn this work, I combine trauma-focused clinical interventions with an understanding of military and government culture, creating a safe, grounded space to process experiences while strengthening resilience, focus, and emotional well-being.Across all contexts, my philosophy is simple: when the nervous system is regulated and the mind is clear, we can lead, create, and live at our fullest potential.

Experience

   The Success Coaching Group, Inc

   Aug 2004 — Present

   I help CEOs, executives, and high-performing professionals optimize mental performance, prevent burnout, and enhance brain health — using a powerful integration of neuroscience, mental health expertise, and lifestyle interventions.As a Neuroscience-Informed Leadership Strategist, Keynote Speaker, and Executive Coach, I translate complex brain science into practical tools that improve focus, decision-making, emotional resilience, and long-term leadership effectiveness. My work bridges the gap between high performance and sustainable well-being — because peak leadership is only possible when both mind and body are in alignment.With over three decades of experience in C-suite leadership, strategic business development, and executive training, I bring a dual perspective: I’ve led organizations from the inside, and I’ve coached leaders from the outside. That combination allows me to identify the exact strategies needed to drive results without sacrificing health, relationships, or purpose.What I Deliver:*Keynote Presentations that inspire action and deliver science-backed leadership strategies.*Executive Coaching for leaders navigating high-stakes decision-making, team performance challenges, and personal resilience goals.*Corporate Training & Retreats on brain-based performance, burnout recovery, and mental agility.My programs integrate brain health optimization, lifestyle design, and emotional resilience training so leaders can not only perform at their best — but sustain it for the long term.Specialties: Executive Leadership Development · Neuroscience Application · Mental Performance Optimization · Burnout Recovery · Brain Health & Lifestyle Integration · Emotional Resilience Training · Keynote Speaking · High-Performance Coaching
