About the Center for Psycho-Oncology Care

Coping with cancer is challenging.

The expected number of new cancer cases in the United States will double by 2050, with an estimated 2.3 million new cancer cases (CDC, 2021).

The Center for Psycho-Oncology Care was created to meet this demand and provide a space for cancer patients and their loved ones to learn ways to make this experience less challenging.

Psycho-oncology stands as a specialized field within cancer care, tackling a spectrum of psychological, behavioral, emotional, and social challenges encountered by both cancer patients and their support networks.

The impact of cancer often leads to substantial distress for individuals and their families, with the nature of this distress varying based on unique personal and familial experiences and multiple factors, such as the type of cancer, the life stage of patients, and their coping mechanisms.

Let’s work to reduce the distress.

What surprises lay in store for individuals and families dealing with cancer should they become my clients?

Psycho-oncology Care can help them feel more in control of their lives and less anxious during medical visits and procedures because they will gain clarity about what they most value and find meaningful in their life.

You will be more in touch with WHY you need to embark on cancer treatment and gain a helpful and comforting perspective on your situation.

Everyone involved (individuals with cancer and their families) will maintain better relationship connections.

Meeting YOUR needs is the goal.

Our work is what you have been looking for because it is tailored specifically for patients and their loved ones battling cancer. These are proven techniques designed to reduce/eliminate symptoms brought on by the cancer experience.

Our role is not to provide lectures on how you should feel. Our work is collaborative and will focus on meeting your needs. As we get to know you, we will hone in on your strengths and use these to go through the cancer experience. You will find us eager, thoughtful, and ready to work with you.

You will find us ready to provide support, encouragement, and empowerment during each session. Working with clients is something we look forward to because of the energy and excitement we bring to working with them. We love this work. You will see in us the enthusiasm we have to discover things about you that you may not have been aware of.

We want our clients to feel uplifted and seen as they gain more clarity on navigating this stressful time and the decisions they must make. Clients who have worked with us report feeling less anxious and more at ease after a few sessions.
