PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES

When cancer is involved in your life, even joy can be overshadowed by anxiety. Moncrief has specialists who have helped many patients and families deal with the emotions of cancer.

We offer therapy sessions with compassionate clinical psychologists so you can talk through difficult issues in a supportive setting. We also extend that high-quality, personal care to cancer survivors, family members and caregivers.

Psychologists have specialized knowledge that can help you:

• Cope with a cancer diagnosis and fear of recurrence

• Learn how to handle stress

• Deal with fears and depression

• Understand sexual issues and body image

• Work through grief and loss

• Learn healthy lifestyle habits
