01 · RECOGNIZING A FIT

When is GI psychotherapy warranted?

Your patient may be following the care plan and still struggling with symptoms, uncertainty, or how much of their life IBS is taking up. The conversation may sound familiar:

  • “I’m doing what we discussed, but I’m still planning my day around the bathroom.”
  • “I’m afraid to eat more foods, even when we talk about adding them back.”
  • “I keep canceling plans. I don’t trust what my body will do.”
  • “I’ve tried so much. Is this as good as it gets?”

These are openings to discuss whether GI psychotherapy could add support for symptoms, symptom-related fear, and daily functioning alongside your care. You can introduce it while medical and nutritional treatment continue.

A patient can have questions or feel skeptical. The consultation gives them a chance to understand the approach before deciding whether they want to take part.

03 · MAKING THE CONNECTION

Two ways to get in touch.

The patient can reach out directly

Share the consultation link with your patient. They can choose a time for a free 15-minute phone consultation, with no obligation to begin treatment.

04 · YOUR PATIENT’S NEXT STEPS

What your patient can expect after referral.

  1. A free 15-minute phone call

    We briefly discuss the patient’s symptoms, what they’re hoping for, and whether my approach may fit. I explain the work, answer questions, and discuss practical details such as fees and scheduling. There’s no obligation to continue.

  2. Schedule the first session

    If we agree that working together is appropriate and the patient feels ready, we can schedule the first session during that call.

  3. Assess, personalize, review

    The first session explores history, symptoms, previous care, and goals. Treatment combines gut-directed CBT, hypnotherapy, and supporting skills, with between-session practice and review of progress.

When you want to remain part of the care team.

If you’d like to stay involved, we can discuss what communication would be useful. With the patient’s written authorization, I can share relevant observations and progress toward our shared goals. My psychotherapy work complements your care. Medical, nutritional, and pelvic health management remain with the appropriate providers.
