Internal Family Systems Therapy: A Therapy for Healing

If you’ve never heard of internal family systems (IFS) therapy before, you’re about to be amazed. IFS therapy is a compassionate, evidence-based approach to understanding the different “parts” within us, such as the inner critic, the caretaker, or the wounded child.

Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS helps people build a relationship with their core “Self,” the calm, curious center that can heal and guide these parts. Instead of fighting against emotions or behaviors, IFS encourages curiosity and acceptance, creating harmony within. It’s especially effective for anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem issues.

How We Help

Our form of IFS therapy will have you working together with one of our trained therapists on how to identify the family structure that exists in your mind. You’ll discover your inner Self as well as the support systems that were created because of your anxiety and trauma. From there, we’ll work with you to establish a system that allows your sense of Self to be at the center of control, rather than one of these supporting actors.
