Sharing something that struck me and can be applied to pretty much every context (whether you’re a therapist or not) about how to enhance connection! Shoutout to Lisa Larson from and her awesome Phase 2 Brainspotting training 🫶⭐️

For the highly sensitive souls, the chronic illness warriors, and those who have learned to put everyone else’s plate before their own…

This work is my heart. Walking alongside you as you navigate the anxiety of food allergies, the exhaustion of constant health management, and the deep yearning to feel secure in your relationships has been the greatest honor.

I’m thrilled to share that I am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. To celebrate this milestone, I am opening the doors to my own private practice.

This practice is a dedicated sanctuary for this work. It is a space built on safety, deep understanding, and the belief that your sensitivity is your strength, not a burden.

A heartfelt thank you to every single one of you who has been part of my journey here. Your trust, your stories, and our connections have led directly to this moment.

If my words have ever resonated with you, I invite you to explore my new website. It holds the details of my approach and how we might work together.

The link to my website and client inquiry form is now live below. Feel free to look around, save this post, or share it with someone who needs a soft place to land.

With so much gratitude,
Jenna

One of my hot takes as a therapist who specializes in food allergies: we don’t want to get rid of your allergy-related anxiety (at least, not completely).

To all the food allergy parents carrying the extra mental load this holiday season: I see you. Your vigilance is an act of love, your exhaustion is valid, and your constant effort to keep your children safe and included doesn’t go unnoticed. 🧡

As we head into the New Year, my wish for you is moments of true rest and the deep knowing that you have done enough. Wishing you a safe, joyful, and inclusive holiday.

✨ Stay tuned because I have a huge, exciting announcement coming January 1st! 🥹✨

I had the privilege of being interviewed by the wonderful Joanna Sauntry at Food Allergy Institute about my lived experience with food allergies, how it has led me to specialize in food allergy mental health, and the impact I’ve seen FAI’s treatment have on patients.

So honored to shine a light on the food allergy mental health niche and the need for collaboration and integration between mental health providers and doctors!

Check it out below.

Why mental health must be part of routine food allergy care Food allergy management has long been defined by a clear medical directive: avoid the allergen, carry epinephrine, remain vigilant. What is far less routinely addressed in clinical practice is the psychological burden of living under consta

Sharing about the drop-in virtual support group I’m facilitating for adults with food allergies again since it’s officially kicking off this Wednesday, 12/3/25 at 5pm PST! 🤩🎉

I have long been wanting to offer a space like this for adults with food allergies as we often can get overlooked in the mental health space. If you’re an adult with a food allergy and have been wanting to find a community who gets it, you’re in the right place. This group is a safe space for adults with food allergies to find a sense of community, support, and share resources with one another. It is a drop-in group, meaning there’s no pressure to attend each month if you’re not able to, and I have sliding scale options available if cost is an issue.

If you are interested, it is not too late to join! Please shoot me a message.

The group is open to all individuals in the US since it is a peer-led support space rather than therapy. The group is not a substitution for medical advice. Always seek the advice of your physician with any questions regarding your medical conditions.

Dreading the food-focused holidays? You’re not alone. ❤️ Here are my tips for a safer, less stressful season. ✨

I’m so excited to expand my support group offerings and launch my monthly food allergy ADULT support group on November 17 from 5-6PM PST! 🎉

This group will serve as a supportive space to connect with other adults who manage food allergies, share resources, and feel less alone. Often times, adults are overlooked in the allergy space and given that I manage anaphylactic allergies myself, it felt really important to me to create this space. ❤️

This group is not a replacement for therapy or medical advice. The group is open to folks in all 50 states due to it being a peer-led support space rather than therapy. Additionally, I want the group to be as accessible as possible so if cost is an issue, please reach out and we can work something out.

If you are interested or want more info, feel free to comment or shoot me a message on here!

📣 ONLY ONE SPOT LEFT IN THE FOOD ALLERGY PARENT SUPPORT GROUP STARTING ON OCTOBER 8TH! 📣

This drop-in group will be held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 5-6PM PST and is capped at 10 people per session. I am so excited to facilitate a space where parents can come together and find a sense of community and shared understanding. Managing food allergies can be so isolating. Having a community of folks who get it that you can lean on for support is so important. 🤍

Last fall, I ran a 10-week closed therapy group focused on providing psychoeducation and clinical tools to parents of children with food allergies to address issues like anxiety, caregiver fatigue, guilt, and grief. Although this monthly group is different in that it will serve as a peer support group and won’t have the therapeutic component, the feedback I got from that group was clear—meeting regularly with a community of other parents who get it is priceless.

If you are interested in securing the last spot in the October group, please feel free to send me a DM on here or email me at jennatsoasw@gmail.com ✨

💙 I am part of the Dine Allergy Safe Club

I support SB 68 – The ADDE Bill, which would require restaurants in California to label the Top 9 food allergens on menus. This would be lifechanging and potentially life-saving for so many folks with food allergies and dietary restrictions. Being a social worker to me is more than just supporting individuals and families on a personal level, but also working to make widespread policy changes that increase health equity and safety.

We’re calling on:
🤝California Assemblymembers — vote YES on SB 68
🤝Governor Gavin Newsom () — sign SB 68 into law

Together, we can make dining safer for 4 million Californians with food allergies.

📣 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
I will be starting a drop-in support group for parents of children of all ages in all 50 states at the end of September!

This group will be a safe space for parents to connect, share experiences, and share resources with each other. No matter what stage of food allergy parenting you are in, this is the place for you. This group will start off monthly but may grow to biweekly if there is enough interest. 🫶

The scheduling of the first group will be dependent on when folks are most available, so if you are interested, please DM me with the weekday and times that work best for you + what time zone you are in.

I’m so excited to be facilitating this supportive and much-needed space in the food allergy community! 💛

Thought it was time for a little “get to know me” in the spirit of back to school season! 💛✨ Thank you for hosting such a lovely event today and making this happen!

I specialize in working with folks 12 and up with food allergies and allergic diseases and I love integrating modalities like brainspotting and IFS into my work. I was born with anaphylactic allergies, asthma, and hearing loss and I feel that having the lived experience of being a food allergy kid-turned-adult has given me a unique understanding of the challenges many folks with allergies and chronic illness experience.

Additionally, I’m a self-proclaimed “witchy” therapist and like to incorporate other holistic forms of healing into my work when folks are open to it. Personally, I like to use tarot and astrology as introspective tools and can incorporate those into my sessions when appropriate.

Starting next week, I’ll be facilitating a free monthly group for tweens with EoE and will be kicking off two other support groups for folks with food allergies this fall. So excited to get to branch more out into group work!

I’m always looking to connect with other therapists and also folks with allergies and chronic illness, so please don’t hesitate to reach out and shoot me a message! 🫶
