Therapy Services for
Cancer & Chronic Illness Mental Health
Positive Psychosocial Support and Behavioral Health
Improve Emotional Well-Being
Facing cancer or a chronic illness can be emotionally overwhelming—and mental health services are a vital part of comprehensive care. These services help patients navigate the psychological toll of diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management, improving both emotional well-being and physical health outcomes.
Why It Matters
Chronic illnesses often bring grief, fear, and identity shifts. Yet mental health is frequently overlooked in treatment plans. For example, people with diabetes are 2–3 times more likely to experience depression, but less than half receive treatment. Integrating mental health care into chronic illness management is not just compassionate—it’s evidence-based and life-extending.
If you or someone you know is navigating a serious diagnosis, seeking mental health support isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a powerful step toward healing.
