Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Understanding the many parts of you

Internal Family Systems (ISF) Defined

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence based approach focused on understanding the different “parts” within you. Each part is trying to help in its own way. Some parts may hold onto old pain or step in with protective strategies that once made sense, even if they’re not working anymore. You might have a part that’s always on guard, or one that’s hard on you to avoid getting hurt. In therapy, we get to know these parts with compassion, so they can soften and so you can feel more whole. See us in The Internal Family Systems Directory.
How does IFS help?

How does IFS help?

IFS can be especially helpful if you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, or relationship patterns that feel stuck. Instead of trying to “fix” these parts of you, we’ll learn to listen to them. As you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself, things begin to feel less chaotic and more connected, calm, and true to who you are.

What to expect with IFS

In an IFS session, we’ll get curious about the different parts of you including the ones that speak up, shut down, overthink, or protect. Each part has a reason for being there, and together, we’ll explore those roles with warmth and respect. The goal isn’t to get rid of any part, but to create more space between you and your reactions so you can respond to life from a calmer, more centered place.
