Counseling for Individuals with Breast Cancer

Emotional Support Through Diagnosis, Treatment, and Beyond

A breast cancer diagnosis changes everything. From the moment you hear the words, life can feel uncertain, overwhelming, and deeply emotional. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, or navigating survivorship, the emotional impact of breast cancer is just as real as the physical.  As someone who has breast cancer, I can assure you, I understand this on a deeper level.  Make sure you check out my blogs on Coping with Breast Cancer and Anxiety and Breast Cancer!

Counseling offers a supportive space to process everything you’re going through.

The Emotional Impact of Breast Cancer

Everyone experiences cancer differently, but common emotional challenges can include:

  • Fear and anxiety about treatment or prognosis

  • Grief over physical changes or loss of control

  • Depression, fatigue, or emotional numbness

  • Stress related to relationships, work, or parenting

  • Identity concerns and body image struggles

  • Loneliness, even when surrounded by support

It’s normal to feel a wide range of emotions.  These emotions even sometimes come all at once.  Counseling doesn’t take away the difficulty of the journey, but it can help you feel less alone in it.

How Therapy Can Help

As a therapist, my role is to walk alongside you with compassion.. You are navigating something incredibly hard, and you deserve space to talk about it honestly and without pressure.

In our work together, you can:

  • Express your fears, grief, anger, or uncertainty in a safe space

  • Learn tools to manage anxiety, overwhelm, and decision fatigue

  • Reconnect with your sense of self and inner strength

  • Explore the impact of cancer on relationships, identity, and body image

  • Create space for healing, meaning, and hope — on your terms

Whether you’re in active treatment, remission, or living with metastatic breast cancer, therapy is here to support you, wherever you are.

Support for Caregivers and Loved Ones

Breast cancer affects more than the individual.  It also touches partners, children, friends, and caregivers. I also provide support for loved ones who are navigating their own emotional journey while trying to be there for someone they care about.

You Deserve Support

You don’t have to carry this alone. Your thoughts, feelings, and fears matter and having a place to share them without judgment can make all the difference.

If you or someone you love is facing breast cancer and could use emotional support, I invite you to reach out and Schedule a Free Consultation. Together, we can create a space for healing, resilience, and whatever comes next.
