with the emotional and practical problems associated with cancer, we
offer the following services:
Individual and family counseling
Counseling helps manage depression,
anxiety, grief and fear. Relaxation, interactive guided imagery and
hypnotherapy services also are available.

General and cancer specific support
groups for patients, family and friends provide guidance and hope from
others who have experienced the diagnosis of cancer.
Support groups provide cancer
patients and families with a loving, safe environment to share their
