Illness & Health Anxiety

Therapy for Illness & Health Anxiety

Psychological care for people coping with medical illness, and treatment for anxiety that centers on health.

Dr. Yacoob trained in behavioral medicine and psycho-oncology at institutions including Memorial Sloan Kettering and Weill Cornell, and has particular experience in the area where physical and mental health meet.

Who this helps

  • People facing a chronic or acute medical diagnosis and the emotions that come with it
  • Those managing the stress, uncertainty, and life changes illness can bring
  • People with health anxiety — persistent worry or fear about their health
  • Family members supporting an unwell loved one

How I help

Using evidence-based CBT and supportive, insight-oriented work, we address the worry, grief, and disruption that illness can create, and build practical ways to cope and adjust. The aim is to restore steadiness, function, and quality of life.
