About our services

What do people usually talk to Mettle Health about?

These are the kinds of questions patients and caregivers often wrestle with: What about my family (financially, emotionally)? What’s an advance directive? What about intimacy—will I ever have sex again? What does hospice actually do, and how do I know I’m ready for it? How do I talk to my employer about my situation? How do I make sure my family knows my wishes? How can I make decisions with confidence?

‍I already have multiple doctors—why do I need Mettle Health?

Conventional American healthcare focuses on the disease, not the person living with the disease. Mettle Health doesn’t just focus on disease or diagnosis: we are an extra layer of support for the people confronting these challenges. Being a patient or caregiver is often about making tough decisions while decoding complex medical language and systems. We are here to provide context for your medical questions, space for your emotional well-being, and guidance for your next steps.

What’s the difference between a Mettle Health counselor and a therapist?

While therapists tend to be trained in psychology or psychiatry, Mettle Health counselors are trained in palliative care. Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for patients and caregivers confronting serious illness. We address the combination of mind, body, and spirit, and explicitly include family, friends, and caregivers as an important part of your life.

What am I going to get with a consultation?

A confidential and personalized consultation(s) that address your physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Sometimes in as little as one session we can help you reframe the way you think about your situation and develop a concrete set of next steps for the journey ahead. Mettle Health can’t change your diagnosis, but we can change the way you navigate it.
