Danielle Stoller is a neurologic physical therapist who helps stroke and brain injury survivors improve their lives through a holistic rehab approach. Marabeth Quin uses the experience and insights from her daughter’s stroke recovery to improve the therapist’s understanding of the mental and emotional aspects of the recovery process.
