Therapists do more than what meets the eye. To learn more about their roles, we've asked our Alexander JFS Behavioral & Mental Health Services team: What does being a therapist look like in their day-to-day work?

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re using this moment to not only highlight their voices, but to advocate for greater understanding of mental health care and the people who provide it.
