Allergists and food allergy practices see the psychological toll of these diagnoses every day: the stress, anxiety, and trauma that shapes how families engage in and make decisions about care. Most practices don't have the training, time, or resources to address it directly, even when they recognize it matters.

I'm Dr. Elizabeth Hawkins and I combine clinical psychology expertise and firsthand experience as a food allergy parent to help close that gap, working alongside practices, providers, and their patients to build psychological support directly into the care you already provide.

A Resource for Your Office

Anxiety is a common part of food allergy care, and one of the hardest things to address in a short visit. I’ve created a printed version of my guide, Practicing Resilience: Skills for Working with Food Allergy Anxiety, designed to be used in the office with a patient or parent who needs more support. It’s a compact, evidence-based resource you can hand over in the moment, with a simple framework patients can take home and use.

Printed guides are provided at no cost to allergy practices, as a clinical tool to use with a patient during a visit when the conversation shifts from the allergy to the worry.
