"Thanks again for all you do!!! You are making A HUGE difference in so many people's lives!" -Food Allergy Mom

"I have been looking for something like this since my daughter had her 1st anaphylactic episode. Unfortunately, there are no food allergy counselors in Oklahoma...but hopefully that will change!" 
- Food allergy mom

"Thank you for creating FABHA & including me in your (Food Allergy Counselor Directory) listings! I got my first FABHA referral today right here in (my area)!" - FAC Directory-listed provider

"A local allergist reached out to me about my practice. Our offices are 1.1 miles from each other. How did he hear about me? FoodAllergyCounselor.com!" - FAC Directory-listed provider

"Just referred someone to the directory - child had biphasic reaction in the air -obviously anxious- especially since staff was so callous as reaction turned quickly into emergency- mom was so grateful to find 2 clinicians near her- you are doing such important work food allergy!" - Food Allergy Advocate

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for compiling the list of food allergy-aware therapists. I had to epi my daughter a year and a half ago, and my anxiety has been through the roof. I tried seeing a regular therapist last year, and then it became apparent to me that I needed a therapist that really understands the challenges and fears of being a food-allergy mom. I contacted a provider on your directory and have my first appointment next week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." -Food Allergy Mom
