Cancer Counseling
According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), “counseling is working with a mental health professional to cope with the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.
Talking with a counselor can help an individual:
- Learn how to cope with a cancer diagnosis
- Feel less overwhelmed and more in control
- Manage anxiety and depression
- Cope with symptoms and side effect, such as pain and fatigue
- Deal with emotional concerns about self-image, body image, and intimacy and sex
- Manage fears or worries about the future
A counselor can also help a person to talk with the people around them. For example, they can help a person:
- Communicate clearly with their health care team
- Talk with family and friends and adjust to changes
- Find resources and help them deal with changes to their work, career, and finances
- Make important decisions
- Consider what comes after a person or their loved one finishes treatment
