Environmental allergen counseling is a personalized consultation designed to help reduce exposure to the allergens that trigger your symptoms. Instead of reacting after symptoms begin, this service focuses on identifying your specific triggers and creating practical strategies to manage them in your home, school, or workplace. It is helpful for both children and adults with allergies or allergic asthma.

How It Works / What to Expect?

This counseling session is tailored to your individual allergy profile and daily environment.

• Review of your allergy test results to identify specific triggers
• Discussion of your home, work, and lifestyle factors
• Development of a customized, realistic plan to reduce allergen exposure
• Guidance that fits your routine and living situation

The goal is to reduce ongoing exposure so symptoms are easier to control.

Types of Counseling

Counseling is customized based on your identified allergens and may include:

• Dust mite control strategies (bedding covers, humidity control, cleaning routines)
• Pet allergen management (pet-free zones, air filtration, practical home changes)
• Pollen avoidance techniques (seasonal habits, window and HVAC strategies)
• Mold reduction guidance (moisture control, ventilation, cleaning recommendations)
• Product guidance for air purifiers, HEPA vacuums, and dehumidifiers that are proven to help

Recommendations are evidence-based and specific to your needs.

Who Should Consider This Service?

Environmental allergen counseling may be helpful if you:

• Have year-round congestion, sneezing, or itchy eyes
• Notice symptoms are worse at home or work
• Wake up congested most mornings
• Have ongoing symptoms despite medication
• Want a proactive, long-term approach to allergy management

This service benefits patients of all ages.
