In this episode of “Embark Sessions,” Rob interviews Liz Lees, a registered dietitian who treats youths at the Embark Behavioral Health outpatient therapy clinic in Phoenix, Arizona. They discuss her life story, including what drove her to pursue providing eating disorder treatment, how her family’s emphasis on healthy eating inspired her to study nutrition, and how her relationship with food evolved throughout her career. Rob and Liz also explain why building a therapeutic relationship with her clients is a crucial part of eating disorder treatment, and the importance of having a mentor.
