IFS Therapist
Internal Family Systems Therapy
An IFS Therapist can help if you are struggling with:
Anxiety, worry, phobia, panic
Depression, low mood or bipolar disorder
Trauma & PTSD, including impacts from childhood
Relationship challenges and discernment
Stress, personal resilience and self-esteem
Gender and sexual identities, coming out, living authentically
Body image, disordered eating, and physical health conditions
Life transitions, personal growth and spiritual development
IFS has been effectively used to overcome mental health struggles, even when other forms of therapy have not worked.
Connecting Your Parts through IFS Therapy
IFS therapy is often called "parts work," and is based on the understanding that people have diverse feelings, beliefs, memories, and thoughts that make up who we are.
These "parts"— for example, a relentless inner critic or a tendency toward people-pleasing— strongly influence how we feel and act in our day-to-day lives.
What to expect when working with an IFS therapist
IFS is a gentle process for anyone to begin to know themselves in a new way.
It works by helping you connect to the roots of what you are struggling with, and it leads to lasting change by supporting parts of you to let go of beliefs that are no longer true for you and live with more authenticity and courage.
IFS therapy sessions offer:
Transformative paradigm shift of how you understand yourself and the world
Expansion of compassion for yourself and for others
Deepening of Spirituality & a sense of the transcendent
Practical tools for conflict resolution and relationship enhancement
Path for greater self-understanding and personal growth
Internal balance and harmony. Less anxiety, more peace and calm.
