Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a gentle and powerful approach to healing that helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself. Instead of seeing yourself as one single identity, IFS views the mind as made up of many parts—like inner voices or subpersonalities—that each have their own feelings, needs, and roles.
For example, you might notice:
A part of you that feels anxious.
A part that wants to keep the peace.
A part that criticizes or pushes you to do more.
A part that feels young, hurt, or vulnerable.
IFS helps you develop compassion for all of these parts and connect with your core Self—the calm, confident, wise part of you that can lead with clarity and balance.
How IFS Helps
Internal Family Systems Therapy can support people struggling with:
Anxiety and stress
Depression or low self-esteem
Trauma and PTSD
Relationship challenges
Perfectionism, people-pleasing, or inner criticism
Emotional overwhelm or feeling “stuck”
By working with your inner parts instead of fighting against them, IFS helps reduce inner conflict and promote self-acceptance.
What Happens in an IFS Session?
An IFS therapy session may include:
Exploring your inner world – identifying different parts of you that carry stress, pain, or protective roles.
Building curiosity and compassion – learning to listen to these parts instead of pushing them away.
Accessing your core Self – the grounded, wise presence inside you.
Healing wounded parts – helping the younger or hurt parts of you feel safe, understood, and cared for.
Sessions are always collaborative, at your pace, and focused on creating safety and trust.
