This isn't just a job marked by checklists; it's a setting where each patient's life unfolds like a story, and every therapy session serves as a chapter in their journey toward recovery. You'll work closely with fellow therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to craft rehabilitation plans as unique as the individuals themselves.
