Sherilynn Chan, PhD
I am a pediatric psychologist who specializes in working with patients with cancer, tumors of the central nervous system, hematological disorders, and immunological disorders, including patients undergoing a stem cell transplant. I provide psychosocial care to children, adolescents, and young adults seen in the Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
In addition to clinical care, I engage in program development, quality improvement projects, and research. My research focuses on understanding psychosocial needs and improving psychosocial assessment and interventions for children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer and their families across the treatment trajectory. I have specific interests in survivorship, adolescent and young adults with cancer, and adolescent peer relationships.
