(2- minute read). When you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, IBS, adoption-related issues, or chronic stress, therapy can’t operate in a vacuum.
Your mind and body don’t live in separate rooms and neither should your care.
That’s where care coordination comes in and I can help.
What Is Care Coordination?
Care coordination simply means that your therapist and your other providers communicate, ethically, professionally, and with your full consent, to create a clearer, more unified path forward.
This often includes working with:
-
Primary care physicians
-
Psychiatrists
-
Gastroenterologists, dietitians and nutritionists (especially for IBS and gut–brain work)
-
Sleep specialists
- Ketamine Clinics
-
School counselors or testing specialists (when appropriate)
This helps making sure you’re not having to tell your entire history to every new provider.
Why It Matters
Most people end up repeating themselves across appointments, collecting conflicting advice, or carrying invisible pieces of their story that never make it into their medical chart.
Care coordination helps with:
-
consistent treatment planning
-
accurate diagnosis and medication decisions
-
better understanding of mind–body symptoms
-
fewer contradictory recommendations
-
support for complex conditions like IBS, ADHD, anxiety, or trauma
When your providers aren’t talking, the burden falls on you.
But when they are talking, everything gets clearer.
How I Coordinate Care (With Your Consent)
My approach is collaborative and straightforward. With a signed release of information, I can:
-
Share relevant clinical insights with your doctor or specialist
-
Clarify symptom patterns they may be seeing in their office
-
Provide trauma, adoption, ADHD, or gut–brain axis context
-
Offer updates on your response to treatment
-
Receive their medical impressions so therapy stays aligned
-
Help build a shared plan that supports your mental and physical health
This isn’t about micromanaging your care. It’s about keeping the right people in the loop so your healing isn’t fragmented.
Bottom Line
You deserve a team that actually works together, not a set of disconnected experts guessing in parallel.
I’m passionate about providing therapy that includes thoughtful, integrated care with your doctors, dietitians, or specialists.
