Are you having trouble talking about cancer with your family? Are you feeling helpless about what the next steps are or knowing the available options? I can be your advocate, establishing a comforting and non-judgmental place for you to openly share the spectrum of unsettling feelings that you are facing. As a therapist who’s been working with cancer patients throughout my career, I understand the difficult challenges. Together we will tackle conflicts, discuss hard decisions and find the best solutions for you.
A cancer diagnosis affects the couple as a whole. Feelings of fears and concerns arise that are foreign and often difficult to process. Communication may become difficult and strained. Each person tends to not share fears or concerns as they are protecting the other. Sometimes the cancer patient doesn’t want to burden their spouse with overwhelming fears they are experiencing. Similarly, the spouse may suppresses his/her own feelings. Both are avoiding the elephant in the room. Couples counseling will help you communicate difficult feelings and will facilitate support and unity.
Cancer not only affects the individual stricken but everyone closest to them. Whether you are a spouse, adult child, family member, friend, or caregiver, a diagnosis of cancer systemically touches everyone closest to the cancer patient.
Acknowledging that you are struggling with your own array of feelings is important. Caring for your own needs are critical to your well-being and can give you the strength to continue on.
Finding the right professional therapist can sometimes be frustrating and time-consuming. But seeking help also demonstrates a strong commitment to your own emotional health. Everyone deserves a healthy mindset and outlook on life. As a Certified Oncology Social Worker, I provide personalized cancer therapy treatment for individuals, couples, and caregivers.
People seeking a cancer therapist should look for one with an Oncology Social Work certification. This designation is important because it reflects a knowledge base, skill set, and ethical standard specific to psychosocial oncology. It represents an advanced level of competence, commitment, and expertise in the field of Oncology Social Work.
