Psychologist
About The Position
Legacy’s mission of making life better for others extends to the whole person—including the psychological well-being of individuals facing cancer. Our psychologists specialize in supporting adult patients navigating the complex emotional, behavioral, and cognitive challenges associated with cancer diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and advanced illness. For many patients, psychological care is essential to coping with distress, uncertainty, and life transitions brought on by cancer. For others, mental health concerns may impact treatment adherence, recovery, or quality of life. In every case, care must be delivered with clinical expertise, compassion, and respect. This role is for individuals passionate about improving the psychological health of adults affected by cancer and contributing to whole-person, integrated care.
