Sometimes people don’t know where to go when they need additional mental health support after a cancer diagnosis.
Your cancer treatment center may have support resources or even a psycho-oncology program, or they may even refer you to someone like me at Drolet Psychiatry if you reside in CA.
Just know that if you need more support as you “ease on down the road,” you don’t have to do it alone.
If you have questions on how to optimize mental wellness at any point along your cancer journey, go to www.droletpsychiatry.com/schedule-call to discuss your options for support.

Psycho-oncology = cancer psychiatry = mental health in cancer care

Here are three simple steps if you are struggling with your mental health at any point during your cancer journey.

Step 1: Know that specialty level services for mental health in cancer care exist.

Step 2: Ask your oncologist/palliative care doctor/primary care doctor to refer you to a psycho-oncologist if you are experiencing any psychological or emotional challenges related to your cancer diagnosis (any time from medical workup through remission or recurrence)

Step 3: Know you do not have to navigate this process alone.

If you or a loved one with cancer is experiencing mental health challenges, and you reside in California, please schedule a free 15 minute consultation call with me at Drolet Psychiatry. I help clients with cancer by providing them specialty, concierge-level mental health services.
