I am so excited to share this episode with you. I speak with Leslie Coates Burpee, NCC, CCTP. Leslie is a Licensed and Board Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor. She attended Davidson College in North Carolina and earned an MA in Psychology from Harvard University, where she collaborated with Ellen J. Langer, Ph.D. on innovative mindfulness research. She went on to earn an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Marymount University. Leslie Coates Burpee completed the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Core Curriculum and several advanced-level trainings directly under the instruction of Dr’s. Aaron and Judith Beck. She maintains membership with Northern Virginia Licensed Professional Counselors (NVLPC), American Counseling Association (ACA), Virginia Counselors Association (VCA), and Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). (She is a total badass!)

Not only is Leslie a wonderful counselor, she is such a dear friend.I loved our conversation as we discussed the book,

How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett. I think understanding our emotions is essential, especially during midlife. I hope you find this helpful and insightful.
