Therapy for Glioblastoma (GBM)
A diagnosis of glioblastoma brings a sudden and profound shift in life.
The pace of change can be fast, decisions can feel urgent, and uncertainty can arrive all at once.
Alongside medical treatment, many people find themselves grappling with emotional, relational, and existential questions that are difficult to hold alone.
When Life Changes Suddenly
Life that once felt predictable can shift quickly. Medical appointments multiply. Information moves fast. Important decisions may appear sooner than expected.
You may find yourself trying to absorb life-altering news while continuing to navigate daily life and relationships.
Shock. Fear. Grief. Anger. Moments of numbness.
These responses are deeply human reactions to sudden and serious illness.
When Time Feels Different
The future may feel closer. Days may feel more precious, or more fragile.
Many people find themselves living with an unusual intensity — holding love, grief, fear, and meaning in the same emotional space.
Questions about what matters most may come into sharper focus.
When Relationships Are Shifting
Familiar rhythms and roles may change quickly.
Conversations may become heavier or harder to begin.
Couples and families may quietly carry parts of the experience alone in an effort to shield those they love.
These shifts can be painful and disorienting, even in loving families.
When the Inner Experience Feels Hard to Name
Familiar rhythms and roles may change quickly.
Conversations may become heavier or harder to begin.
Couples and families may quietly carry parts of the experience alone in an effort to shield those they love.
These shifts can be painful and disorienting.
About My Work
I’m Dr. Nicole Sucre, a palliative care psychologist and the founder of Healing Bridge Psychology. I work with people living with GBM and other neurological conditions, as well as the loved ones who are affected alongside them.
My approach is grounded in palliative care and evidence-based psychotherapy. I offer a steady, relational style of care that respects the complexity of living with Glioblastoma and the many ways it can shape a person’s life.

If you are living with GBM and would like support with the emotional side of this experience, I invite you to reach out.

The first shift begins by reaching out and having a conversation.
