American Oncology Network and Colla Health Partner to Expand Whole-Person Cancer Care and Behavioral Health Support in Community Oncology

September 16, 2026

Compassionate Emotional Support for the Cancer Journey

We believe cancer care should support the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Through our partnership with Colla Health, patients have access to personalized emotional support, targeted therapeutic interventions, and psychiatric oversight and consultation designed specifically for individuals facing complex medical journeys.

Personalized Support Includes:

  • One-on-one sessions with a behavioral health specialist
  • Convenient telehealth and phone appointments
  • Personalized care plans and coping strategies
  • Support for stress, anxiety, grief, sleep challenges and more
  • Insurance-covered services for eligible patients

Specialized Support for the Emotional Impact of Cancer

A cancer diagnosis can affect every aspect of life — emotionally, mentally, socially and physically. Feelings of stress, fear, sadness, uncertainty, and overwhelm are common during treatment and recovery.

Colla Health’s behavioral health specialists provide evidence-based emotional and behavioral support tailored to each patient’s experience.

We Support Patients With:

  • Anxiety related to treatment or diagnosis
  • Stress and emotional overwhelm
  • Depression, grief or mood changes
  • Fear of recurrence
  • Relationship and family stress
  • Sleep challenges and fatigue
  • Cognitive changes or “chemo brain”
  • Adjusting to life during and after treatment

How the Program Works

Initial Assessment & Care Plan

Patients begin with a personalized intake assessment to discuss goals, experiences and support needs.

One-on-One Support

Meet with a behavioral health specialist through convenient telehealth or phone sessions.

Ongoing Care Coordination

Behavioral health specialists work alongside the care team to support the overall treatment experience and improve quality of life.

You Don’t Have to Navigate Cancer Alone

Compassionate emotional support is available to help patients feel more supported, connected and empowered throughout their care journey.
