Liliana Doyon, LMFT

About Me

Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of dedicating more than 15,000 hours to guiding couples toward transformative connection, far surpassing Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000-hour rule for mastery. This wealth of experience allows me to quickly uncover the patterns that keep partners stuck—often within the first session—and create a path toward vulnerability and healing.

As a first-generation Mexican American and President of the New York Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy, I bring both personal and professional insight to my work. My approach blends evidence-based methods, such as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), with the wisdom of my indigenous roots. Curanderismo, an intuitive part of my practice, allows me to integrate ancestral healing tools like limpias with palo santo, copal, and flowers to create a holistic, transformative experience.

Throughout my career, I’ve volunteered at EFT externships, presented at workshops for therapists, written group therapy curriculums, and delivered trainings for outside organizations on EFCT. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which deepen my ability to navigate complex emotional landscapes.

My work is characterized by warmth, compassion, and a unique ability to help couples make sense of their emotional world. I specialize in supporting partners who often navigate life through logical problem-solving, helping them transition from headspace to heartspace. Whether you’re facing disconnection, overwhelm, or a lack of intimacy, my goal is to guide you toward healing, connection, and the relationship you truly desire.

As a lifelong learner, a mother of two, and someone deeply passionate about relationships, I am dedicated to helping couples reconnect not only with each other but also with themselves. This workshop is a culmination of my experience and dedication to transformative healing, offering you the opportunity to step into a deeper, more fulfilling partnership.

Testimonials

  • What I love about Lily is how easy she is to open up to. When I share something painful or vulnerable, she receives it with compassion and understanding with words like "of course you felt that way given how you had to adapt in x situation growing up" - she somehow has memorized my core wounds and can retrieve and reflect them back to me to explain my own behavior to me. It's remarkable. She also is able to gently stop me when I unknowingly deflect her question by answering about someone/something else, she'll bring me back to why I deflected and ultimately get me to acknowledge the uncomfortable yet familiar emotion that came up inside. This is where her magic lies: in showing me the adaptive patterns I've developed to cope with my emotions and difficult past experiences. I feel heard and understood when I meet with Lily. She is a treasure.

  • Therapy with you was a wonderful and powerful experience. I miss the sessions. Working on my relationship with my wife was worth every second of it. No matter how hard the topics or how many tears were shed, that was easily outweighed by the laughs and connections that we made with your help. If I were to describe my experience it would be similar to the difference of being awake/conscious and being alive/exercising. Couples therapy should not be a luxury or something that is done only when times are extremely difficult. It seems to me that a great romantic life is only possible if you work at it and there is no shame in needing a coach at times.

  • Before we found Liliana, we were feeling very disconnected. I was pursuing connection with my partner and he was shut down and withdrawn. We needed to come back together and felt under resourced to do it ourselves. We were escalating quickly and our intimacy was deeply lacking. I didn’t feel seen or understood. I felt unloved and unwanted.  Liliana held the space to have honest and difficult conversations. She created a safe space for me to be very vulnerable without shutting down. Together we had deeper understanding and appreciation for each others needs, deeper empathy for one another, knowing and respecting each others emotional limits, trusting in our love. THANK YOU Liliana for grounding us, holding safe space for us to navigate some very entrenched and conditioned ways of being, and keeping hope for us when it was lost. And thank you for introducing me to a therapist who has been a big part of my personal evolution and growth.

  • Before I met Liliana, I was feeling frustrated, upset and not emotionally regulated along with having some issues in my relationship with my boyfriend.  I’ve gone to her before, and felt that we had great sessions and our energies flowed well in the therapist/ patient dynamic. I wanted to feel better and have deeper more meaningful relationships with my self and the people in my life. She helped me by slowing things down, allowing time to reflect and providing me with tools and ideas to better my self. She is very easy to talk to, I felt heard and safe and her schedule was always flexible which fit well w my schedule. I feel my self worth definitely improved and I was able to navigate my feelings better when I would become triggered. She’s great!
