Parent Support Therapy
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, parents often take on two demanding roles at once: caregiver and emotional anchor. Supporting a child through treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and immunotherapy affects every part of the of family life.
Support for Parents Navigating Childhood Cancer
While so much attention is understandably focused on your child’s care, you also deserve space to process your own fear, stress, grief, and exhaustion.
Help With the Practical Side of Cancer Care
Emotional support is only one part of what families often need. You may also be facing questions around insurance, bills, grants, care coordination, work disruptions, family responsibilities, and medical decisions that can feel impossible to manage alone.
In Parent Support Therapy, I offer a space to process the emotional weight of your child’s diagnosis while also making room for the overwhelming logistics that often come with childhood cancer.
In our work together, we may focus on:
Processing the emotional impact of your child’s diagnosis
Managing fear, anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
Navigating insurance, grants, bills, care planning, and family logistics
Supporting family communication and coping
Navigating conversations with medical teams
