Internal Family Systems (IFS)

A compassionate and transformative approach to psychotherapy that helps individuals heal by understanding and harmonizing the various "parts" within their internal system. Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS views the mind as naturally multiple, consisting of distinct sub-personalities or parts, each with its own unique perspectives, memories, and roles.

How IFS Therapy Works

During IFS therapy sessions, clients are guided to explore their internal world and connect with their parts. The therapist supports the client in identifying and differentiating their parts, understanding their roles, and recognizing the protective functions they serve. Through this compassionate inquiry, clients learn to listen to and empathize with their parts, fostering a sense of internal harmony.
