Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a gentle, compassionate approach that helps you better understand your inner world. We all have different “parts” of ourselves—parts that try to protect us, parts that hold pain or fear, and parts that show up when we feel overwhelmed. IFS helps you get curious about these parts rather than judging or fighting them.

In IFS therapy, you work with your therapist to build awareness and compassion for each part, while strengthening your core sense of self—the calm, grounded part of you that can lead with clarity and care. As you develop this relationship with your inner world, many people notice increased emotional balance, relief from long-standing patterns, and a greater sense of self-trust.

IFS is collaborative, respectful, and paced to feel safe. Therapy is guided by your comfort and readiness, with an emphasis on healing rather than fixing.
