WORK WITH DR. ELIZABETH
Group Therapy
Living with food allergies, whether your own or your child's, is not just a medical experience. It is an emotional one. The hypervigilance, the isolation, the fear that never fully goes away, the grief of what's been lost, the trauma that can follow a severe reaction, the decisions that never feel small enough to stop thinking about.
Â
These are small, clinical therapy groups, not a psychoeducational support space, for those who want to engage in therapeutic work alongside others navigating similar challenges. Each group addresses the psychological themes that come up most consistently in food allergy life: managing anxiety without losing appropriate caution, navigating hypervigilance and trauma, processing grief and loss, making decisions about treatment options, communicating with partners, schools, and medical providers, and handling the transitions that come at every new stage.
