Therapy for Food Allergy Anxiety

Food Allergy Therapy: Managing Anxiety and Building Confidence

Living with food allergies can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. Whether you’re a teen or a parent, the constant vigilance and fear of accidental exposure can take a toll on mental health.  As a parent of a child with food allergies, I get it. I offer therapy to help manage the emotional impact of food allergies and build the confidence needed to navigate everyday challenges.

Managing Anxiety & Stress

The anxiety of living with food allergies often feels like a constant state of "fight or flight." This stress can impact social situations, relationships, and overall well-being. I will help you develop strategies to reduce anxiety, process stress, and regain control over your emotions.



Navigating Relationships & Communication

Explaining food allergies to others can be difficult, especially when people don’t fully understand the seriousness of the condition. I will guide you on how to communicate your needs confidently, set healthy boundaries, and manage the emotional challenges of advocating for your child or yourself in social and family settings.

Techniques Used in Therapy:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Change negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety.
• Mindfulness: Learn techniques to stay calm in stressful food-related situations.
• EMDR: Reprocess traumatic experiences related to allergic reactions or fear of exposure.
