JODI LISTON

Principal Consultant & Founder Liston Strategies

Jodi Liston, founder of Liston Education Group, is a leading expert with over three decades in therapeutic consulting and educational support. Known for her transformative work with therapeutic programs, treatment centers, and private and boarding schools, Jodi focuses on creating a seamless client journey—from admissions through post-discharge aftercare—ensuring each step is handled with precision and empathy.

Jodi’s commitment to her work is deeply personal. As a mother to three children with diverse needs, including two who navigated therapeutic and educational interventions, she has a firsthand understanding of the challenges families face. This personal journey fueled her early career, as she collaborated with a special education attorney to advocate for her own children, later expanding her expertise into consulting to support other families.

In her role as a consultant, Jodi brings a blend of clinical insight, family systems knowledge, and operational strategy, addressing not only clinical care but also the critical elements of family communication, discharge planning, and long-term support. Her hands-on consulting style has made her a trusted advisor for leadership teams, clinical directors, and admissions staff across the country, helping programs and schools enhance client outcomes, reduce recidivism, and foster meaningful family engagement.

Jodi’s approach is built on her belief that effective care is collaborative and deeply connected to each client’s unique journey. Her reputation as a compassionate yet results-driven consultant has earned her recognition as a go-to expert for institutions seeking to make impactful, sustainable changes.

Outside of her professional life, Jodi enjoys time with her husband Andrew, boating on the Hudson River, and relaxing with their three teacup schnauzers, CoCo Bean, Chloe, Cali, and their French bulldog, Jacques.

Jodi Liston is not only a consultant but a partner in your program’s success, dedicated to ensuring that every client’s journey is supported, every family feels heard, and every program reaches its highest potential.
