Supportive Care

Individual/Family Counseling

Counseling can help ease the emotional difficulties a cancer diagnosis generates. Our culture often tells us we should “do it on our own,” but clients find great benefit in working with a skilled therapist. Counseling can help clients experience greater emotional ease; grow their resilience and personal strength; take on positive new behaviors; and move beyond previous limitations in thought or attitude and toward greater well-being.

Our Clinical Team can work with you to find a community mental health clinician to support your needs.

Supportive Care Visits

For members of the Healing Garden community who have an individual need, we offer 1-3 supportive care visits with a member of the clinical team.  Visits may address, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Adjustment/orientation to the Healing Garden community beyond the intake appointment
  • Development of mind-body practices to help with coping
  • Resource assessment, planning, and referrals
  • Mental health assessment and referral to an outside clinician
  • Navigation of the healthcare system and tips around self-advocacy

For more information or to schedule a Supportive Care Visit please email, Meredith Hobson, Director of Clinical Care.

Spiritual Companioning

Spiritual Companioning offers a safe and confidential space for the development and growth of spiritual well-being and healing. Sessions involve a discovery, exploration and development of life’s deepest longings, the chance to learn and engage spiritual practices or resources, and the opportunity to identify the source and foundation of one’s own spiritual truth or wisdom.

Our clinical team can work with you to find a community spiritual companion to support your needs.
