Free 1:1 counseling available to help you navigate your journey with gynecologic cancer
The Steps 1:1 Counseling program provides free professional counseling for anyone facing a gynecologic cancer diagnosis. Our goal is to provide you with the space to process your diagnosis, understand your treatment, how to communicate with your family and healthcare team, and how to live well moving forward.
A hallmark of the program is matching each participant with a professional Gynecologic Cancer Counselor in their state. Together they will develop an education and support plan that meets each person’s specific needs. Some patients, for example, might need help adjusting to a new diagnosis and navigating the healthcare system. Others may want to discuss managing side effects or dealing with a difficult prognosis. Those off treatment may want to learn strategies that will help restore energy and reduce stress. Family dynamics and managing difficult emotions are other areas with which we can help.
Wherever people are in their cancer experience, Steps 1:1 Counseling offers expert support centered around each person’s evolving needs so they know they are never alone.
Steps offers 10 free counseling sessions over a 6-month timeframe for those diagnosed with gynecologic cancer, who are over the age of 18, and currently reside in the United States. Counseling is provided by Oncology Social Workers through OCRA Steps Counselors or Iris, depending on Counselor availability in the state where you reside. If you have already received Steps Counseling and are seeking further 1:1 support, please contact our Patient Support Line at 212-268-1002.
