Cancer Patients

Specialized Psychiatric Support for Individuals Navigating Cancer

Because your emotional and mental health matter just as much as your medical treatment.

The Mental Health Impact of Cancer

A cancer diagnosis is life-altering. Alongside physical treatment, it often brings intense emotional strain, fear, uncertainty, anger, grief, and fatigue. Yet mental health support is often overlooked during this critical time.

At Total Wellness Psychiatry, we provide compassionate, discreet psychiatric care tailored specifically to individuals navigating cancer. Whether you're newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, in remission, or coping with long-term effects, our goal is to support your emotional well-being so you don’t have to carry the mental load alone.

Common Mental Health Challenges During Cancer

Cancer can trigger or intensify a range of emotional experiences, including:

• Anxiety or panic related to diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis

• Depression, hopelessness, or emotional numbness

• Insomnia or sleep disturbances

• Decision fatigue and mental exhaustion

• Mood instability linked to hormonal or physical changes

• Grief and anticipatory loss

• Fear of recurrence or long-term health concerns

• Difficulty adjusting post-treatment (identity shifts, reintegration)

These reactions are human and treatable. Support is not a luxury; it’s part of whole-person healing.

Our Approach to Psychiatric Care for Cancer Patients

Our founder is trained in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, a subspecialty that bridges the gap between complex medical and psychological care. This allows us to deliver highly attuned support for those with cancer or chronic illness.

• Thorough Psychiatric Evaluation with an understanding of the intersection between medical illness and emotional health

• Targeted, Gentle Medication Management to support mood, anxiety, and sleep, always with consideration for your current treatment regimen

Whether you're sitting in a waiting room, recovering from treatment, or reflecting on what’s next, we’re here to help you feel grounded, seen, and emotionally supported.

Who We Work With

​​​​​​​We support individuals navigating:

• A recent cancer diagnosis or active treatment

• Post-treatment adjustment or survivorship anxiety

• Recurrence fears or complex treatment decisions

• Co-existing depression, trauma, or panic
