A cancer diagnosis can – and often does – affect more than just the body. That’s why Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center has an experienced and compassionate psycho oncology team ready to help patients and families adjust to the emotional and psychological changes that can occur.
At the University Hospital Simmons Cancer Center Psycho Oncology Clinic, our licensed clinical psychologists and clinical therapists are specially trained to help patients with cancer relieve the stress, sadness, and worry associated with cancer and its treatment.
