-
Nicki's Circle Ovarian Cancer Information & Support Groups have served hundreds of women monthly in Colorado since 2005.
-
The groups are open to anyone who has battled this disease and to their caregivers. At meetings, information is exchanged about ovarian cancer, current medical research, and how women can effectively advocate for obtaining the best health care possible.
-
This is also a place to share the emotional ups and downs of living with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
-
Nicki's Circle support groups meet monthly in person and by phone, reaching survivors across Colorado.
-
The telephone groups are designed especially for those who cannot make it to a support group in person or who live outside the Denver metro area.
-
All groups are free of charge and are facilitated by a healthcare professional. Please contact Kaytlyn Von Muenster, LPC before attending a group for the first time:

Ovarian Cancer: Individual Support Program
We are available to talk with you individually by the phone about the emotional challenges of being diagnosed, of going through treatment, and adjusting to life after treatment. Our “professional mentors” are master’s level counselors and/or Licensed Professional Counselors trained as a part of our Individual Support Program.
This program offers four complementary 50-minute phone meetings, designed to assist you through the challenges of diagnosis and treatment. The topics of the one to four sessions can vary and will be based on your need for support with Ovarian Cancer. Topics can include but are not limited to: anxiety related to scan and blood test, illness based depression, fear of recurrence, intimacy issues, treatment options, resources, relationships, and communication.
​
Please note: This is not meant to be a replacement for mental health psychotherapy. In those situations, we can provide a resource list with referrals for local therapists.
To get started, contact Katlyn Von Muenster, LPC, COCA Navigator, to arrange a meeting time or ask questions. We look forward to connecting with you. 720.724.8612, Katlyn@colo-ovariancancer.org.
