Ricki Romm, LCSW

When you discovered your child’s food allergies, your child’s doctor probably explained the new practical demands of your job. They probably did not explain the complicated emotions you would experience. The fear accompanying an endless list of what ifs. The grief over missing out. The guilt, wondering if you’re doing enough or if you’re the cause. The discomfort asking for special accommodations. The endless vigilance. In addition to being a psychotherapist, I am also a mom to kids with severe food allergies. I am here to help you make space for all of the conflicting things you’re feeling and to build confidence in your ability to navigate sometimes rocky terrain.
