394: The Role of a Therapist in Eating Disorder Recovery with Leehe Negri, LMHC

Today on the show I’m honored to have Leehe Negri on the show to share with you the role a therapist plays in eating disorder recovery, how Leehe helps her clients identify diet culture in their lives and how a dietitian and therapist can complement each other in helping their clients thrive.   Leehe is a licensed mental health counselor, located in Boca Raton, FL. She works with adults with a broad spectrum of diagnoses and struggles. Leehe specializes in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) for depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder; EMDR trauma therapy for PTSD and other trauma-related struggles; and Intuitive Eating for eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues. She works with individuals, couples, and families, and provides services in English and Hebrew.    Leehe's main objective is to guide her clients in cultivating self-empowerment, wisdom, and liberation. She carefully attends to each client by implementing interventions that are uniquely targeted for his, her, or their background and goals. Leehe guides her clients in becoming their own therapists, as they learn how to master effective coping strategies and life-changing insight on their own. She creates a therapeutic environment, in which her clients feel safe, heard, and understood, while guiding them through the journey of discovering their authentic self.   In this episode we discuss: Leehe explains who she is and what exactly is a psychotherapist. What inspired Leehe to focus on eating disorder recovery to better help her clients. How to identify red flags in your relationship with food and body. Psychological components that influence the development of eating disorders and disordered eating.  How Leehe lives wellness without obsession.   Learn more and work with Leehe: Leehe’s website Wise Mind Wellness Leehe’s Instagram account Emaill Leehe for a free consultation at contact@wisemindwellnessfl.com.    Announcements from Victoria: We have a brand new services page!
