PSYCHOLOGICAL
SERVICES
In conjunction with the Baptist Cancer Institute, Regional Consultants provides a full range of counseling services for patients and their family members to help them cope with the physical and emotional stress associated with the diagnosis and treatment of chronic health problems such as cancer, anemia and sickle cell disease.
Referrals are made for the purposes of health promotion and prevention of problems, as well as to help you and your family cope with common problems such as depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, pain, eating problems, fatigue and general adjustment.
