A diagnosis of cancer has many profound implications for a family. During this difficult time there will be physical, emotional, and possible financial stressors introduced into a person’s life. SCOA understands these issues and provides an outlet for our patients in the form of a family therapist. Howard Wadell, LMFT has been a licensed marital and family therapist for over 20 years. He has been assisting SCOA patients, families, and friends since 2006.

Fighting cancer often becomes a full time vocation for not only the patient, but also the patient’s support system. You will find a friend in Howard who is well experienced in helping families cope with difficult life situations.

Access to this counsel may come from referral by one of our physicians, nurses, or at the request of the patient. Ask any SCOA staff member to connect you with Howard or call 803.461.3683 for more information about this service.
