Dr. Ali Navidi, GI Psychology, Interview with meddkit

Provider Spotlight: Dr. Ali Navidi of GI Psychology 🧠💬🦠

In this spotlight, we sit down with Dr. Ali Navidi, CEO and Co-Founder of GI Psychology, to explore the intersection of mental health and gastrointestinal care—a connection that impacts millions but is still widely misunderstood.

Dr. Navidi shares his journey to launching GI Psychology and the urgent need he saw in the field: while GI disorders are incredibly common, very few mental health professionals are properly trained to help patients cope with the psychological aspects of these conditions. That gap inspired him and his business partner to fill that void with empathy, science, and specialized expertise.

GI Psychology provides care for children, adolescents, and adults navigating a wide range of GI disorders, chronic pain, and other complex medical conditions. Their unique, evidence-based approach centers around two powerful therapies: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Clinical Hypnosis, delivered through individual sessions and skills-based groups.

We also clear up common misconceptions—especially around clinical hypnosis. Dr. Navidi breaks down what it really is (spoiler: no swinging pocket watches or stage tricks), how it works, and why it can be a life-changing tool.

If you or someone you love is living with a GI condition and feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck—this conversation is a must-listen.
