Marissa Wells | Private Practice Meets Caregiving | TPOT 391

Ever feel like you're stuck between a full caseload and a full calendar of doctor’s appointments - for your parents? 

You're not alone. 

In this episode of The Practice of Therapy Podcast, Marissa Wells joins Gordon to talk about what it really looks like to juggle private practice while caring for aging family members.
