What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative, evidence-based therapy that helps you reconnect with your true self and bring healing to the parts of you that carry pain, anxiety, or trauma. Rather than trying to "fix" you, IFS helps you build a relationship with your inner world, fostering calm, clarity, and compassion from the inside out.

  • Work with inner parts rather than against them
  • Build lasting emotional resilience
  • Release old burdens without re-traumatizing

How IFS Helps with Anxiety & Trauma

Anxiety and trauma often stem from inner conflicts between parts of ourselves - a part that worries constantly, a part that shuts down, a part that criticizes. IFS helps you understand these parts and why they're doing what they're doing.

Through this process, you learn to lead your internal system with compassion, rather than fear. Clients often report feeling more in control, less reactive, and more connected to themselves and others.

What to Expect in Therapy

  • Weekly or bi-weekly 50-minute sessions (in-person or virtual)
  • Gentle exploration of inner parts at your own pace
  • Collaborative and compassionate therapeutic relationship
  • HIPAA-compliant online sessions for privacy and security

Our IFS Institute Trained Therapists specialize in helping adults in high-stress environments reconnect with themselves, heal emotional wounds, and find lasting peace. Our approach is warm, non-judgmental, and rooted in helping you uncover your own inner wisdom.
