In my practice, I strive to take a holistic approach to treatment. I focus on the biological aspects of treatment via medications when necessary, the psychological aspects of treatment via psychotherapy and the social aspects of treatment by inviting family and significant others to participate in treatment if the patient wishes. Psychiatric issues are much more complex than a single diagnosis, and I look forward the challenge of discovering the depth of each patient.

FAQ - Oncology Psychiatry
How can psychiatrists help with cancer-related emotional challenges?
A personal cancer diagnosis, or that of a loved one, can be an emotionally intense experience, often triggering feelings of sadness, grief, and fear. Beyond the medical challenges, cancer treatment can introduce additional stressors, such as financial burdens and logistical difficulties related to ongoing care. As a result, many individuals benefit not only from seeing a cancer care team but also from psychiatric support to help manage the emotional impact of the diagnosis and treatment process.

What does psychiatric treatment for cancer patients involve?
Psychiatrists who specialize in cancer care have expertise in the unique psychological challenges patients face, and treatment approaches typically involve a combination of medication and psychotherapy that are tailored to each individual's needs. They can support clients in processing a new diagnosis, coping with the physical and emotional demands of treatment, and addressing end-of-life concerns, when necessary. Psychiatrists can prescribe and manage medications for mental health conditions and ensure that these medications are compatible with any cancer-related treatments. Psychiatrists may prescribe antidepressants to address symptoms of depression or use medications such as antipsychotics to help manage common cancer treatment side effects like delirium or nausea—common complications of treatments like chemotherapy. In therapy sessions, psychiatrists might use talk therapy to provide a space for patients to express their concerns, mindfulness practices to reduce stress, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe distressing thought patterns.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in cancer care?
To find a psychiatrist who specializes in cancer care, the Psychology Today psychiatrist directory can be a helpful resource. Use the filter options to narrow your search by relevant topics such as cancer, grief, depression, or chronic illness. Provider profiles include information about therapeutic approaches, credentials, insurance acceptance, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing this information can help individuals and caregivers choose a provider who aligns with their specific needs—whether they are navigating a recent diagnosis or ongoing treatment.
