GI Psychologists / GI therapy

[u/jacketstheclown]

My GI doctor referred me to a GI Psychologist to seek mental health support around my celiac diagnosis and all of the mental and social hurdles I’m struggling with. On the discovery call they told me it was $400 for the initial intake and then $300+ per 45 minute session after that. They recommend between 9-13 sessions and a lot of what they shared about the treatment plan sounded like something I’d really benefit from… changing your mind’s response to panic, social isolation, grief and hypnotherapy.

I’m wondering if anyone has had success with their GI psychologist? It just feels so expensive but I’m kind of at a loss and feel the average mental health care practitioner (therapist) just really doesn’t get it in the same way these gut-brain-emotion informed therapists seem to be.
