Keynote Speaker: Leah Wellstone
(River Valley Behavioral Health & Wellness Center)
Leah Wellstone is a Marriage and Family Therapist, a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, a Minnesota Board LMFT and LPCC Supervisor. “My work is grounded in family systems and attachment theories. I believe that people change in the context of a relationship. I use music, humor, drumming, poetry/writing, art, movement and experientials to access healing.
I have over 20 years of experience in a variety of settings. Two areas of passion and expertise are eating disorders and grief/loss. Early in my career I worked as a grief therapist and volunteered in hospice care. Other Areas of Clinical Experience: Life transitions, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Body Image, Parenting/Blended Families, Parenting Young Adults, Women/Empowerment, Preparing families for the transition to college/adulthood, Pre and post divorce, Ambiguous loss. We all experience some type of ambiguous loss. What is it and how do we best incorporate it into our lives?
I am married to David Wellstone, Paul and Sheila’s oldest son. We are a blended family of 4 adult children and 2 grandsons. We live in Northfield with our dog, Gunnar.”
