The goal of this interdisciplinary pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a guided imagery intervention to reduce RT-related symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with HNC relative to treatment as usual. Treatment as usual contains no psychological interventions to aid in distress, however participants will have access to the psychosocial supports at the cancer center available to all patients. Patients will be randomized to either condition, and surveys of their well-being will be conducted throughout the study.
