ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 027

Therapy Check-in with Rose Reif

My next guest, Rose Reif, is a very special therapist with over 20 years of experience helping people with disabilities and their families. Imagine talking to a therapist who knows your language and the jargon you use- it's comforting to know someone like her exists. She has so much understanding and her approach to mental health for our world is gentle and insightful.
