Psycho-Oncology
Psychiatric care for people living with cancer or another serious diagnosis, and support for their loved ones.
Mental health during cancer care
Cancer can affect your sleep and mood, your sense of who you are, and your family life.
We coordinate with your oncology team and review possible interactions between psychiatric medications and cancer treatment. Appointments also give you time to discuss how you are coping.
When weekly appointments aren’t enough, our Virtual IOP for people affected by cancer adds more support without a hospital stay.
Clinical experience in oncology and mental health
Founder Nina Abelowitz, ANP-BC, PMHNP-BC, has worked in adult medicine, oncology and psychiatry. Her oncology experience at Massachusetts General Hospital from 2017 to 2023 and psychiatric nurse practitioner training inform Three Rivers’ focus on the mental health effects of cancer. Her own experience caring for her mother adds a family caregiver’s perspective to that work.
Nina’s background is especially relevant to patients and caregivers looking for clinicians who understand how medical treatment, emotional distress and everyday responsibilities can overlap. Your treating clinician will assess your needs and, with your permission, coordinate with your oncology team.
Need more support than weekly appointments?
Our Virtual IOP is built for adults living with cancer and their caregivers. It gives you more support than weekly therapy, but without a hospital stay. Because it runs entirely online, it can fit around fatigue, immune risk or a treatment schedule.
