Leo Newman is a licensed professional health counselor living in
Travelers Rest, South Carolina with his wife and son. He's worked
in the mental health field for a decade and currently splits his
time between private practice and the local community health
center. His primary focus is helping individuals and their loved
ones learn to live beyond the challenges of their chronic health
concerns.
Leo began his own journey with chronic health issues in 2005 after
being diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and later with ankylosing
spondylitis and end-stage renal disease. He's learned that peace
and contentment can be found even in the most trying circumstances,
and considers his deep connection to his support community to be
one of the greatest gifts he's gained from his experience with
chronic illness. Leo counts it a privilege to be part of others'
communities as they navigate their health challenges.
