Compassionate Counseling for Cancer | The Oncology Institute

What Is Oncology Counseling?

Whether it’s called compassionate counseling or cancer counseling, counseling for cancer patients involves offering support to cancer patients. When you get treatment at The Oncology Institute, we offer a range of cancer support services to help you:

Counseling: Our counselors can help you with mental screening and can provide a compassionate way to navigate the emotions and uncertainty you may feel after a cancer diagnosis and treatment. We can also help you.
Nutrition counseling: Our counseling services can help you make informed changes to your diet to maintain your health during cancer treatment.
Smoking cessation programs: Our services help you stop using tobacco, improving your health while you undergo treatment.
Survivorship planning: This planning allows you to focus on life during and after your cancer treatment. You will navigate the uncertainty that comes after a diagnosis and even after remission.
End-of-life counseling: End-of-life counseling is designed to help you with advanced cancer, including any preferences you have for palliative care. It also offers emotional support in advanced cancer care.

Specialists coordinate your care, ensuring you receive the cancer treatment you need. Your team may recommend supportive services tailored to your specific needs. You can also request services. At every step, our goal is education, so you are empowered to choose the treatment and supportive services that best suit your needs.

Why Should I Try Compassionate Counseling?

Cancer doesn’t just affect your health. It can also impact your finances, relationships, mental health, spirituality, sense of self, and even your place in your community. Your body may change, and you may need to take time away from work. You may no longer be able to participate in activities the way you once did. These changes can be challenging to navigate on your own.

With counseling, you receive support to navigate relationship changes and changes in your abilities, self-confidence, and more. You can also receive support with nutrition and lifestyle changes, ensuring your treatment plan has the best chance of success.

You may be living with cancer for a long time, and it will touch every part of your life. With counseling, you can build a life with cancer, in remission, and beyond.
