Find Your Voice, Embrace Your Truth
A safe space to heal trauma, discover authentic identity, and cultivate unconditional self-love at your own pace
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Lisa LeMaster, LPC, NCC
LeMaster Counseling Services, LLC
You deserve a space where you can fully be yourself without judgment—a place to explore your identity, navigate relationships and life transitions, and heal from trauma at your own pace. As an LGBTQ+ telehealth therapist in New Orleans, I'm here to provide that affirming space throughout the state of Louisiana.
I understand the impact of trauma and systemic oppression because I've battled it on my own healing path. Through my personal therapy experience, I discovered how transformative it is to have an affirming therapist who truly sees and supports you.
In our work together, you'll find safety to process whatever you're carrying while discovering your authentic voice and stepping into your power. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with compassion and unwavering support as you embrace the self-confidence and self-love that are already within you.

FAQ
-
How does therapy work?
Therapy is a collaborative journey where we'll explore your experiences together, identify patterns, and discover new ways of understanding yourself and your relationships. In this safe, non-judgmental space, you can process emotions, heal trauma, and uncover your authentic self—all at your own pace.
-
How many sessions will I need?
Description goes hereThere's no set number because healing happens at your own unique pace. Some clients find what they need in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support as they work through trauma or major life changes.
We'll check in regularly about your progress and goals—you're always in control of your healing journey. During our consultation, we can discuss what you're hoping to address and explore what might be most helpful for you.
-
What can I expect from you as my therapist?
You can expect warmth, acceptance, and genuine care as I meet you exactly where you are without judgment. I'll listen deeply, honor your natural healing process, and collaborate with you rather than direct you. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and always respectful of your pace and boundaries.
-
Will you really understand and accept who I am?
Absolutely. I'm committed to providing an affirming, non-judgmental space where you can be completely yourself. I have deep respect for diverse identities and experiences, especially understanding the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals and those who have experienced trauma or systemic oppression. Your authenticity isn't just welcomed here—it's celebrated.
-
How do you help clients heal and grow?
I create a safe relational space where healing can naturally unfold. Drawing from trauma-informed, eclectic approaches, we'll process difficult experiences, explore identity questions, strengthen relationships, and develop self-compassion as you find your voice, embrace your authentic self, and cultivate lasting self-confidence.
-
How will I know if therapy is working?
You'll likely notice subtle shifts first—maybe you feel more at ease being yourself, respond differently to triggers, or find yourself speaking up in ways you couldn't before. Progress isn't always linear, and healing often happens in small, meaningful moments rather than dramatic breakthroughs.
Some clients notice they're sleeping better, feeling less anxious, or approaching relationships with more confidence. We'll regularly check in about what's shifting for you, and I'll help you recognize progress you might not notice on your own.
-
Does telehealth really work as well as in-person therapy?
Yes! Many clients find telehealth just as effective as in-person sessions. It offers convenience and comfort while maintaining the same therapeutic connection. All sessions are secure, HIPAA-compliant, and designed to feel warm and personal despite the virtual format. And telehealth makes it possible for us to meet anywhere in the state of Louisiana.
-
What about cost and insurance?
I understand that cost is an important consideration. Sessions are $125 for 50 minutes. While I don't currently accept insurance, there are options available to access your out-of-network benefits. I'd be happy to discuss payment options for your specific situation during our consultation call—I believe everyone deserves access to healing."
-
How does scheduling work?
I use Simple Practice for scheduling and telehealth sessions. Once we decide to work together, you'll receive a link to create an account where you can schedule appointments, message me, join sessions, and manage payment. I currently offer evening and weekend appointments with more availability coming soon, and we can discuss any scheduling needs during our initial consultation.
-
What if I miss my session or have to cancel?
Life happens! If you need to cancel or reschedule, just reach out at least 48 hours before your appointment. Cancellations within 48 hours of your scheduled time, or missed appointments, are billed at the full rate.
