Adjuvant Behavioral Health is a tele-behavioral health clinic with a singular mission: to bring expert psychiatric and psychological care to cancer patients when and where they need it most. We partner with leading oncology practices — including Texas Oncology, Tennessee Oncology, The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, and Ochsner Healthcare — to embed collaborative care and psychotherapy directly into the cancer care journey.

We believe that healing is holistic. Our team shows up for patients not just as clinicians, but as people who genuinely care about the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. If that resonates with you, we want to meet you.
