“This novel partnership provides scientifically supported GI psychology services to ACG members and patients with gastrointestinal health conditions nationwide via GI OnDEMAND (GIOD),” said Megan Riehl, PsyD, Director, Behavioral Health Services, GI OnDEMAND. “The partnership further expands the platform’s ability to make specialized GI expertise and services accessible. Recognized as highly qualified gut-brain therapists, GI Psychology clinicians join the GI OnDEMAND platform as expert providers who can effectively deliver valuable care.”
Research highlights that integrative multidisciplinary clinical care is the gold standard for patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI).1,2,3 Unfortunately, access to expert GI psychologists remains significantly limited around the world. Therefore, innovation and expansion are necessary, according to Dr. Riehl.
“Patients deserve access to integrated, collaborative care in their communities,” said Ali Navidi, PsyD, co-founder of GI Psychology. “GI Psychology is actively advancing this value by investing time in coordinating care, educating providers and patients, and staying consistent with the ACG’s Treatment Guidelines for DGBI.”
“GI Psychology’s partnership with GI OnDEMAND is a demonstration of our mutual commitment to increasing awareness and utilization of effective gastrointestinal treatments,” said Tiffany Duffing, PhD, co-founder of GI Psychology. “Our team at GI Psychology is grateful to be part of the movement to change the message: effective treatments for gut-brain conditions do exist.”
In addition to the GI Psychology services that will connect GI clinicians and their patients to gut-brain therapists, GI OnDEMAND also features GI expert registered dietitians, genetic testing and counseling services, as well as evidence-based online education programs and other resources.
“We have thoughtfully partnered with experts utilizing a variety of care delivery models with the goal of bringing options for collaborative care to ACG members,” Dr. Riehl said. “In addition to our digital therapeutic and virtual support programming, we are now thrilled to offer one to one GI psychology care with experts in evidence-based brain-gut behavioral therapies who will individualize a treatment plan for patients with GI conditions.”
