Therapy for Cancer Patients and Survivors in Houston, TX
A cancer diagnosis changes everything.
​
It can bring fear, anxiety, grief, anger, identity changes, and emotional overwhelm that many people around you may not fully understand.
​
At Tenacity Counseling Center, we provide therapy for cancer patients and survivors in Houston, TX and online across Texas to help you process the emotional impact of cancer and regain a sense of safety, control, and peace.
​
Whether you were recently diagnosed, are in treatment, or are navigating life after cancer, therapy can help you heal emotionally—not just physically.
The Emotional Impact of Cancer
Cancer affects far more than your body—it affects your nervous system, identity, relationships, and sense of safety in the world.
​
Many cancer patients and survivors experience:
• Anxiety and fear about the future
• Fear of recurrence
• Emotional numbness or overwhelm
• Grief over changes in your body
• Identity changes
• Loss of control
• Anger, sadness, or confusion
• Difficulty trusting your body
• Relationship strain
• Feeling alone or misunderstood
​
These emotional responses are normal—and therapy can help you process them in a safe and supportive space.

Trauma-Informed Therapy for Cancer Patients and Survivors
Cancer is often experienced by the nervous system as trauma.
​
Your brain and body may remain in a constant state of fear or alert even after treatment ends.
At Tenacity Counseling Center, we use trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR therapy, to help your nervous system safely process these experiences and restore emotional balance.
