A cancer diagnosis affects more than just the body — it impacts your emotions, your relationships, and your sense of identity. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, in treatment, in remission, or supporting a loved one, The Summit Counseling Center offers compassionate counseling to help you cope with fear, grief, uncertainty, and change.

- Are experiencing isolation or difficulty talking to loved ones
- Need help managing stress, depression, or trauma
- Are supporting a family member with cancer and feeling emotionally drained
