Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is an evidence-based, integrative therapy approach that looks at the ‘multiplicity’ of the mind. These are the parts of yourself that carry memories, feelings/emotions, and roles that contribute toward your overall personality. IFS could be viewed as a combination of psychoanalysis, mindfulness, narrative work, and attachment therapy.

IFS is more than psychotherapy.

It’s a compassionate way of relating to your inner world that leads to transformative healing.

Why choose IFS?

    • It is natural for the mind to be subdivided into sub-personalities, or ‘parts.’ This is not the same as a split personality disorder.

    • There are NO bad parts! The goal of IFS is not to eliminate a part, but rather to help those parts transform their roles within the system.

    • Everyone has a True Self they are born with that can and should lead the rest of the system of parts.

    • Changes made to the internal system will produce changes in the external system, and vice versa.

    • Recognizes and uses the ‘undamaged’ core of the True Self to help your system shift into positive roles.

    • Offers new ways of looking at yourself and others.

    • Encourages self-disclosure and personal responsibility for behavior.

    • Fosters compassion, respect, and trust with oneself, the therapeutic process, and others in your personal life.

    • Empowers you and your innate ability to take charge of your mental health.

    • Achieve balance and harmony within your inner system.

    • Differentiate and unblend your True Self from other parts so that your Self can be an effective, confident leader.

    • Use your True Self to help other parts transform their roles from extreme behavior and emotion to healthy, productive contributions to your personality.

I can personally attest to the transformative healing benefits of IFS.

I would not be endorsing this therapeutic approach if I did not 100% believe in its ability to help my clients. I have not only used IFS to help others, but I have personally reaped the benefits myself. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that IFS is unlike any other therapy you’ve tried so far, and I would love to introduce it to you so that you can experience the same level of clarity and confidence my clients and I have gained.
