Our psychologists use assessment, research, consultation, supervision and training to help caregivers and families to alleviate some of the stresses and difficulties that come along with caring for someone with cancer.
Cancer can cause tremendous distress for individuals and their families, friends and caregivers. That distress often goes unaddressed, as treatment emphasizes the physical elements of the disease. Unfortunately, many cancer centers are struggling to meet the mental health needs of cancer patients and those closest to them.
We're working to change that. Our psychologists use assessment, research, consultation, supervision and training that allows them to help with cancer-related symptoms like insomnia, nausea, anxiety about treatment, fear of recurrence and depression.
We're also able to work with caregivers and families to alleviate some of the stresses and difficulties that come along with caring for someone with cancer, empowering them to provide better care while supporting their own mental health.
