Jacqueline Heller - Integrating connections for well-being

Over her forty-year career, she maintained a psychiatry practice and treated patients at a community clinic and was also an assistant clinical professor at the UCLA Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences within the David Geffen School of Medicine.
