Counseling

Our counselors are experienced in structuring counseling sessions to meet the specific needs of each person. These counseling sessions are most often structured as individual, couples, or family sessions, but the Counseling Center also sponsors some group sessions for patients or family members who might benefit from working with others in similar circumstances.

Counseling Center staff may also refer patients to other mental health specialists for longer-term counseling. Our counselors are available not only as an outpatient resource, they are also available to patients during their hospital stays.

Our Smoking Cessation Services specialize in addressing the specific needs of cancer survivors and their families who want to improve their health by quitting smoking. We use a range of individually tailored methods to help each person find alternative, healthy ways to resist the craving to smoke, and to quit smoking permanently. We also welcome family members who want to stop smoking, as it may be easier to quit together.
