Our Model of Care
We offer services in the six areas below to promote healing, lower your odds of recurrence, and move you toward wellness.
Emotional Wellbeing
If your emotional health is compromised, so is your ability to fight off disease. We help people "unpack" the emotional issues that factor negatively into their healing, and to capitalize on the benefits that positive emotions have for physical health.

Positive Mindset
Numerous studies have documented the importance of living with a positive mindset, or said another way, having strong reasons for living. Cancer "thrivers" have been shown to have a strong sense of purpose and belief that their condition is not permanent. While a cancer diagnosis is never welcome, we work with you to "translate" this moment in your life into a "turn point" which embellishes the life you have, or leads you to create the life you want.
CCLM Offerings:
-
Positive Mindset Workshops
-
Cancer as a "Turn Point" Workshop
