Counseling ServicesJohn P. Murtha Cancer Center Logo

Our Cancer Support team is committed to healing the whole person, including body, mind and spirit. We have licensed mental health providers who specialize in oncology and understand the physical and emotional challenges of cancer treatment. Cancer diagnosis and treatment can trigger stress, anxiety, depression, as well as other mental, physical and spiritual concerns. Our Cancer Support Team is focused on enhancing quality of life during cancer treatment by building coping skills to adjust to the challenges of cancer. Benefits of counseling can include reductions in stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, as well as increased energy, resilience, and hope. Our services are available as both outpatient and inpatient services.
