Leah Newman Counseling
I'm bringing the innovations of California counseling and LGBTQ+ Life to the South. I always provide an accepting & non-judgmental environment for clients of all backgrounds, focusing on transgender concerns and transitions, cross-dressing, gay & lesbian concerns, non-traditional relationships & relationship issues.

I also enjoy working with couples and significant others who are experiencing change with their spouse's transition as this can be a very difficult and confusing process. Many of my clients also struggle with family difficulties, anxiety, depression, a lack of coping skills, and high levels of stress.
Services
I am based in Los Angeles, California, but I spent the first half of my life in the South, calling Nashville my home for 20 years. It is here where I pursued both my Bachelor's and Master's degree from Middle Tennessee State University, graduating in 2011 with a Master's of Education with an emphasis in Mental Health Counseling.
As you may have already seen, I specialize in gender, sexuality, the LGBTQIA+ community, and alternative spiritualities. In general, I approach counseling from a holistic (mind, body, soul, spirit) perspective. I'm also very practical in my approach, while finding that it is helpful to utilize various spiritual approaches (i.e., energy, manifestation, faith) when it is fitting for my clients.
Have you ever been in counseling or therapy? Many people come in for the first time with a host of incorrect assumptions about the process and many times, fear, especially for those who may have very negative ideas attached to what it means to go to a therapist at all. Each therapist does things differently, but there are some basics you'll likely encounter.
I am here to help you make magical changes in your life. We often have great intentions and desires to do something new with our lives, but sometimes we need someone in our corner to help us set those goals, cheer us on, and hold us accountable. That's what I'm here for! There is no shame in needing help in creating momentum and change in your life.
All sessions are conducted on an encrypted and HIPAA compliant platform for therapists. It is compatible with both desktop and mobile devices, so you don't have to be tied to your computer to have a session. You can be ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! If you are scheduled for a session, follow this link to access the VIRTUAL WAITING ROOM.

I'm grateful to have found a therapist who knows about the occult and is a member of the lgbt community herself. I always get a lot out of my sessions with Leah and feel supported, well-guided, and refreshed afterwards.

She’s been my therapist for years. Love her to death. She helped me stop my self harming and helped me with my depression and anxiety. Definitely recommend!!

While I genuinely benefited from my sessions with her, and do think she's a good therapist I can't recommended her as a counselor to anyone because of her blatant lack of professionalism. Over the last three months she had repeatedly cancelled my appointments often at the last minute. When I finally got an appointment with her, she didn't show up and failed to respond to my calls or texts.

Leah is safe, wise, and compassionate. I have grown so much in the year and a half I've been going to her.
