Counseling Services

The Regional Cancer Center is pleased to offer the counseling services of Rebecca Needy, MA, LPC. As a licensed professional counselor, Rebecca is here to support your emotional needs as you cope with the impact and changes that result from a cancer diagnosis, as you undergo medical treatment, and as you become a survivor.

Are you experiencing any of the following?

• Feeling overwhelmed and not coping well with the diagnosis
• Having difficulty adjusting to your diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis
• Anxious about how your life is or how it may change
• Anxious about the future and concerns about the possibility of cancer recurrence
• Changes in intimacy, sexuality, and relationships
• Having difficulty in talking to children, family, and friends about your diagnosis
• Stress in caring for a loved one

Rebecca facilitates compassionate patient-centered care to:

• Manage stress and reduce anxiety and depression.
• Help patients manage strong emotions.
• Increase life-coping and problem-solving skills.
• Promote hope for a healthy future.
• Teach mind-body and contemplative practices using mindfulness.

Rebecca offers individual, couple, caretaker, or family counseling services at no cost to you and you do not require a referral from a provider. Counseling services are provided in person or over the phone/video. She is available for initial consultations and ongoing therapeutic services for up to five appointments. Sessions are typically one hour. Rebecca is happy to support a transition to a community therapist if further assistance is needed beyond the five sessions.

Rebecca Needy’s office is located in Mary Washington Medical Oncology, 405 Chatham Heights Rd., Fredericksburg, VA 22405. Please contact your Cancer Navigator to set up services or call 540.741.1211 for assistance.
