Discover the Compassionate Care of Our Oncology Social Workers

Facing a cancer diagnosis can be a challenging and emotional journey, and we understand that you and your loved ones need more than just medical support. Our dedicated Oncology Social Workers are here to provide you with the essential emotional and practical guidance you need during this time.

Here's how our Oncology Social Workers can assist you:

  • Counseling and Emotional Support: We offer counseling for both you and your family, providing a safe space to share your thoughts, fears, and emotions. Our goal is to help you navigate the emotional challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.
  • Coping Strategies: Understanding your cancer diagnosis and finding effective ways to cope are crucial aspects of your journey. Our Oncology Social Workers will work with you to develop strategies to manage your diagnosis and the emotional effects of treatment.
  • Coordination with Your Treatment Team: We collaborate closely with your cancer treatment team to ensure that your care plan is holistic and well-coordinated. Your well-being is our top priority.
  • Communication Guidance: Talking to your children, family, friends, or coworkers about your diagnosis can be difficult. Our experts will provide you with the tools and guidance to have these conversations effectively and with empathy.
  • Stress Reduction and Relaxation Techniques: We'll teach you valuable stress-reducing and relaxation techniques to help you find moments of peace and tranquility amid the challenges you face.
  • Practical Assistance: Our team can assist you in completing important forms related to disability and other healthcare matters, making your administrative tasks more manageable.
  • Addressing Intimacy and Body Image: Understanding the effects of cancer on sex, intimacy, fertility, and body image is an essential part of your journey. Our Licensed Clinical Social Workers, including Board Certified Sex Therapists, are here to provide guidance and support in these areas.
  • Referrals to Comprehensive Services: We can connect you with financial counseling, clinical trials, patient navigators, dietitians, and pastoral care. We also provide access to valuable community resources.
