Lisa Tahir, LCSW

I really enjoyed my experience with Lisa. Her home-​based office is a very tranquil environment, and she herself is great at guiding you through what you want out of therapy. I think that therapy can be useful to everyone, no matter what your issues, and I highly recommend Lisa. She is effective, non judgmental, and will help you think critically about your goals.

I love Lisa. I began seeing her in 2008 when she helped me deal with my issues arising from an emotionally and sexually abusive relationship. Since then, she has helped me through a new career, law school and difficult family and relationship issues. She is incredible! She is caring, insightful, patient and gentle. She does not judge and she does not force advice. She guides you through your feelings and thoughts to help you come up with your own personal solution to your problems. I don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s helped me heal so many times and I attribute much personal growth to her.

Lisa has helped me change my life. I’ve been able to heal from tremendous pain from a severely dysfunctional family of origin and an abusive marriage/​divorce. She has been patient, kind, insightful, and encouraging – believing in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. I’ve been able to blossom into my potential and give my inner child what she desperately needed through my work with Lisa. Working on family of origin and trauma issues can be long term work. Lisa makes this work feel safe because she is genuine and healthy. In years of working together I have ALWAYS, in every session felt honored, meaning that the sessions are for me and about me; Lisa honors the time and financial investment by using the time for the client. Another aspect of Lisa’s therapeutic approach with me has been ‘no pressure’, meaning I can schedule or not schedule and she encourages me to do what is best for me and has helped me learn to trust my gut and my instincts – this translates to many other parts of my life. I happen to be a therapist as well, so I know it can be difficult to have a therapist as a client. Lisa has the utmost professionalism, healthy boundaries, intelligent insights… I could go on and on. If you need someone you can trust, I highly recommend her services.

We all have issues, and sometimes we need help, this is where Lisa steps in!
Lisa is one of the most caring and genuine people I have the pleasure of knowing in the New Orleans mental health field. She has been instrumental in helping a family member with several issues, including grief work, addiction recovery and setting future goals. I whole-​heartedly recommend her as a trustworthy and empathetic therapist.
