Can therapy actually help with physical symptoms?

Therapy won’t make symptoms disappear, but it can reduce stress, improve your emotional response to pain or illness, and help you feel more in control.

What kinds of chronic conditions do you specialize in?

We work with people managing chronic pain (like back, neck, or joint pain), autoimmune conditions (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), metabolic conditions (like diabetes), GI issues (like IBS), cancer, and sleep-related concerns. We also support caregivers of those living with these conditions.

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy with you?

No. Whether you have a formal diagnosis or are just struggling with ongoing symptoms, you're welcome here. Our focus is on your lived experience, not labels.

How You May Be Feeling

A cancer diagnosis affects every part of your life. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, or adjusting after, the emotional toll can be heavy. You may feel:

Overwhelmed by Uncertainty

Life can feel out of control. Between test results, treatment decisions, and daily responsibilities, it’s easy to feel exhausted, on edge, and unsure of what comes next.

Consumed by Worry or Sadness

Anxiety and depression are common during and after cancer. You might find yourself constantly worrying or stuck in grief for the life you had before cancer.

Not Like Yourself

Physical changes and treatment effects can leave you feeling disconnected. The pressure to “stay positive” can make you feel even more alone.

How Cancer Therapy Can Help

Therapy can ease the emotional distress, working alongside your medical team.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills to manage anxiety, improve mood, and stay engaged in daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT supports you in making space for difficult emotions, staying present, and taking action based on what matters most to you.

Meaning Centered Psychotherapy (MCP): MCP helps you reconnect with what gives your life meaning and direction, even in the face of uncertainty.
