Why Oncology Practices Partner With IPS

  • Supporting Emotional Health Throughout the Cancer Journey

    A cancer diagnosis brings complex emotions — fear, anxiety, grief, and uncertainty. Our clinicians provide structured, evidence-based therapy and coping support for patients and families at every stage of care: diagnosis, active treatment, remission, and survivorship.

    We help patients stay emotionally engaged, informed, and resilient through treatment.
  • Enhancing Treatment Adherence and Decision-Making

    Behavioral health plays a crucial role in keeping patients aligned with care plans. IPS helps patients navigate fatigue, depression, and anxiety that can derail adherence. Our providers collaborate directly with oncologists, nursing staff, and social workers to support treatment completion and informed decision-making.

    Better mental health equals better adherence, fewer missed treatments, and improved outcomes.
  • Reducing Provider Burden and Supporting Staff Well-Being

    Oncology teams often shoulder the emotional weight of their patients’ experiences. IPS provides ongoing support not just for patients — but for staff. We offer access to consultation, debriefing, and burnout prevention tools for physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals.

    A stronger, more supported clinical team provides better patient care.
  • Integrated Within Your Oncology Workflow

    Our clinicians become part of your practice or hospital oncology service — documenting within your EMR, coordinating with your care team, and aligning with your processes. We can operate onsite or via telehealth, ensuring seamless access to care without disrupting clinic flow.

    Your system. Your workflows. Our behavioral health expertise.
