“1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy.” (foodallergy.org, 2016).
When we combine adults into that picture – the total is staggering – 15 million people in our country deal with life threatening food allergies every day, including my own family. I understand the challenges that face the allergic community. Kids feel ostracized and parents feel intense blame and protectiveness. Below are common problems therapy can help:
- Anxiety
- Fear
- Depression
- Feeling left out
- Feeling different from others
- Bullying
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
