WELCOME GI PSYCHOLOGIST, SHARON JEDEL!
November 11, 2022TARA TROY, M.D. Gastroenterologist
Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Health is thrilled to announce that clinical psychologist Dr. Sharon Jedel will be joining our CGH team. Over the last sixteen years, Dr. Jedel has been a faculty member at Rush University in the Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and has worked extensively with patients with a variety of gastrointestinal conditions. She has a deep understanding of the mind-gut connection and the interplay of emotional and mental health with GI symptoms. Dr. Jedel uses an integrative approach toward her work with patients, combining cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help patients manage their physical and emotional symptoms with insight-oriented therapy to assist patients in achieving a deeper understanding of their feelings and experiences. Utilizing this approach and working collaboratively with patients, Dr. Jedel helps to empower patients to effect change–a transformative process that can enable individuals to endure fewer GI symptoms and enjoy a greater sense of well-being.
Dr. Jedel will begin seeing patients at Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Health in December 2022. She will have both in person as well as telehealth visits. In addition to helping patients with chronic gastrointestinal conditions, she also welcomes patients who struggle with issues of anxiety and depression independent of any GI symptoms. Her schedule is now open, and you may call (224) 407-4400 to set up an appointment. Please note that Dr. Jedel will be out-of-network with health insurance plans. Our staff will be available to answer questions regarding how to submit claims for reimbursement to your insurance provider.
We are so excited to welcome Dr. Jedel to our practice. Dr. Jedel’s experience as a clinical psychologist who specializes in the care of individuals with gastrointestinal conditions supports CGH’s mission to provide our patients with holistic, collaborative care. We are hopeful you will find her expertise valuable in your own journey to health and wellness.
