Counseling

Learning that you or your loved one has cancer can be frightening and overwhelming. Talking to a professional about your concerns, a practice known as counseling, can help you feel more hopeful and in control. At CancerCare, you can receive free counseling from compassionate, professional oncology social workers.

Counseling can help you:

• Learn new ways to cope with your cancer diagnosis
• Explore and manage feelings which may include sadness or anxiety
• Speak with your children about your cancer
• Find help with financial challenges
• Improve communications with your health care team
• Connect with resources

To learn more about counseling, read our Counseling Frequently Asked Questions.

Counseling is available on the phone or face-to-face (available at our offices in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut).

Call us at 1-800-813-4673 or email info@cancercare.org for more information.
