Handling a cancer diagnosis can be very stressful and demanding. While it is normal to experience distress, when it becomes long-lasting or is getting in the way of daily living, counseling may be helpful.  Even if your distress is not extreme, a few sessions of counseling can go a long way to help you feel less overwhelmed and more in control.    

Meet an Oncology Social Worker:

Our licensed clinical social workers specialize in helping people cope with the challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.  Counseling sessions provide you with the opportunity to discuss your concerns in a safe, non-judgmental setting. These sessions focus on ways to ease the emotional suffering you may experience during and after treatment.  For example, we:

• Provide methods you can use to reduce your distress
• Help you to draw upon your personal strengths to successfully navigate the challenges before you
• Identify how you can effectively advocate for yourself
• Share strategies to help you cope with the unknown
• Explore together what your cancer experience means to you
