Apr 21, 2023

If you've ever struggled with emotional eating, binge eating, being all-in or all-out on your nutrition, feeling bad and guilty for what you ate and find yourself repeating these over and over again then 1. you're not alone (I've been there too) and 2. this episode is for YOU!

Today, I am joined by licensed mental health counselor - Leehe Negri Finer! Leehe is 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.
