Family and Individual Counseling


Facing diagnosis and treatment of cancer takes courage and strength. There is a lot to deal with and it can be hard work. Though no one can take away the emotional pain that often goes along with cancer, the resources below can help you through your cancer journey.

Social Workers are available to help you with questions about mental, emotional, spiritual, family or community support. Please ask your nurse or doctor to help arrange a meeting with a social worker.

Psychiatric Evaluation and Counseling is available to patients in the Holden Cancer Center who are experiencing anxiety or depression that interferes with:

  • Completing Treatment
  • Quality of Life
  • Daily Functioning

Appointments are available on Friday mornings. Janeta Tansey, MD, is director of this service. To arrange an appointment, please talk with your nurse or doctor.
