Caring for Your Body and Mind

A cancer diagnosis can and often does affect more than just the body. That is why we have an experienced and compassionate psycho-oncology team ready to help patients and families adjust to the emotional and psychological changes that can also occur. Our licensed clinical psychologists and clinical therapists are specially trained to help patients with cancer relieve the stress, sadness, or worry associated with cancer and its treatment.

Our psycho-oncology team is here to support you at any stage of cancer treatment. Services we offer include:

• Initial assessment for diagnosis and treatment of overlapping psychological and cancer-related concerns
• Brief individual psychotherapy to aid coping with cancer and develop strategies for wellness
• Behavioral interventions to address treatment adherence and side effects
• Psychological interventions for pain and symptom management
• Resources for long-term therapy and comprehensive care

Our psycho-oncology team offers in-person appointments at Moncrief Cancer Institute and Virtual Care to reduce barriers to care. Virtual Care is the use of a video and audio connection to communicate in real-time and face-to-face with your team from the comfort of your home or wherever you are. We use secure technology to ensure your information remains private. To make an appointment with a member of our team, please request a referral from your UT Southwestern oncologist. Appointment options can be discussed at the time of scheduling.
