Diane Benfield

Diane Benfield is a compassionate and dedicated clinical social worker and therapist, holding a DSW and LCSW, who specializes in providing support for individuals grappling with the emotional challenges of cancer. She understands that a cancer diagnosis irrevocably alters life and priorities, often leading to overwhelming feelings of shock, sadness, fear, anger, confusion, disappointment, isolation, anxiety, and depression. Many find it difficult to communicate these feelings with friends and family, who may not fully grasp what they are enduring.
