The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of a multi-component intervention to improve young female cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant reproductive health care. The investigators hypothesize that implementation of the intervention will result in increased young cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant reproductive health care.

The multi-component reproductive health care intervention includes: 1. Young cancer patients presenting to oncology visits will complete a clinic-based reproductive health needs screen with a member of the clinical team. This needs screen assesses i) desire to have a child in the future and ii) need for contraception. 2. Reproductive health patient navigation consists of one telehealth or in-person session with a social worker to: i) assess the patient's reproductive health needs, ii) provide individualized patient education and counseling on a) infertility risk related to cancer type and treatment and b) screening and management strategies for reproductive health needs, iii) provide support with the goal of engaging in goal-concordant reproductive health care. 3. Telehealth reproductive health consultation will occur between the patient and reproductive specialist. Each consultation is estimated to be 1 hour.
