At Colorado Cancer Counseling, we understand the devastating impact cancer can have on your body, mind, and spirit, and we are committed to helping you not only survive but thrive during and after cancer.

I am Melanie, a Cancer Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and 14-year Cancer Survivor.

With my education, experience, and personal cancer journey, I am uniquely equipped to provide the guidance and support you need during this challenging time.

Services Offered

At Colorado Cancer Counseling, we offer a range of services designed to help you cope with cancer and move forward with your life. Our services include:

• Cancer Counseling: Cancer counseling provides a safe and supportive space to talk about what you are going through without worrying your family and friends. We help you learn practical and useful skills for managing difficult emotions, such as anxiety and depression, and provide resources to help you move forward after cancer.
• EMDR and Cancer Radical Remission Coaching: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of therapy that can help you process and heal from traumatic experiences, such as a cancer diagnosis. Cancer Radical Remission Coaching provides guidance and support to help you make lifestyle changes that can improve your chances of recovery.
• Cancer Skills Clinic: Our Cancer Skills Clinic is a group therapy program that teaches you practical skills for managing the emotional challenges of cancer. In a supportive group setting, you will learn techniques for managing stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as strategies for communicating effectively with your healthcare providers and loved ones.
• Education and Experience: I have a Master's degree in Counseling and extensive experience working with people with cancer. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado and a member of the American Counseling Association.
• My Cancer Survival Story: As a 14-year cancer survivor, I have a unique perspective on the cancer journey. I understand the physical, emotional, and mental challenges of cancer, and I am committed to helping you find the support and resources you need to move forward with your life.
• Fees and Insurance: I accept most major insurance plans and offer sliding scale fees for those who need it. I am also an out-of-network provider, so if you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to receive reimbursement for our services.
• Resources: I have compiled a list of resources to help you find the support and information you need during and after cancer. This includes financial resources for cancer counseling, complementary therapies, community organizations, caregiver support, and end-of-life care.

At Colorado Cancer Counseling, we are committed to providing the guidance, emotional support, coping skills, and resources you need to successfully navigate the difficult journey through cancer treatment and cancer survivorship.
