Dr. Ginsberg has an area of specialization in working with women with cancer. She works with women with all types of cancer, at all stages. Dr. Ginsberg has a great deal of experience and knowledge about the psychological consequences and challenges of a cancer diagnosis, from the time of diagnosis, through the active treatment stage, and into the various phases of the survivorship stage.
