Clinical Psychologist

Memorial Cancer Institute recognizes the challenges that cancer can bring to the patient and family. When emotional needs extend beyond the scope of a social worker, you can ask your oncologist for a referral to see Sameett Kumar, PhD, the resident psychologist.

Dr. Kumar is the clinical psychologist at Memorial Cancer Institute, serving the patients of Memorial Healthcare System in south Broward County. He has more than 12 years experience in working in an oncology setting and specializes in working with adults who have cancer, as well as with their caregivers and families. In addition to being a clinical psychologist, he has also studied with numerous spiritual teachers as part of his training. Dr. Kumar's professional interests include mindfulness meditation, well-being, and grief and bereavement. He is also the author of the best-selling Grieving Mindfully: A Compassionate and Spiritual Approach to Coping with Loss, and The Mindful Path Through Worry and Rumination.
