Meet Our New Chief Clinical Officer, Tammy Cantu
Hope at Heart Foundation is proud to welcome Tammy Cantu as our Chief Clinical Officer.
Tammy is a clinical CBT psychotherapist specializing in trauma, addiction, and relationships, bringing more than 15 years of experience in clinical practice, nonprofit leadership, program development, and community advocacy to Hope at Heart.
In her role as Chief Clinical Officer, Tammy will lead the development and growth of Hope at Heart’s Mental Health Program, expanding access to trauma-informed individual, couples, family, and group counseling for individuals and families impacted by cancer. The program is designed to address not only the immediate emotional effects of cancer, but the long-term impact on relationships, family stability, identity, grief, and overall well-being.
For Tammy, this work is also personal. As a cancer survivor, she understands firsthand that the cancer journey extends far beyond treatment. Her personal experience, combined with her clinical expertise, has shaped her commitment to creating meaningful systems of support that care for the whole person and the entire family.
Tammy will also help strengthen Hope at Heart’s clinical partnerships, professional training opportunities, and long-term vision for accessible, evidence-based mental health care.
“Cancer changes more than a person’s health. It can change relationships, families, identity, and the way we see the future. My goal is to make sure families have the emotional and clinical support they need not only to survive what they are facing, but to heal beyond it.” — Tammy Cantu
Please join us in welcoming Tammy to this new leadership role as we continue putting the heart where the hurt is. 🎗️
