Individual Psychotherapy 

We live to navigate through daily challenges and life stressors. Chronic pain condition, like sickle cell disease, cancer adds additional stress to life. Going through life challenges and facing a terminal condition  could potentially make it more difficult or nearly impossible to manage these life stressors. Life can be a very isolating experience for the patients and their families who may not know how to handle this condition or the emotional stress that comes from living with it. 

Support Groups

Support groups offer people with same condition a safe space to openly talk about their challenges without being judged, to learn coping mechanisms for dealing with life stressors and challenges. At Petals, we offer different support groups for individuals going through different crisis and stages in Life. Below you will find a list of the different support groups we offer.
