IFS (Internal Family Systems)

​

Internal Family Systems is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on a client’s internal “parts” and “Self.”

In IFS, the mind is considered to be made up of multiple sub-personalities within each individual’s mental system. These sub-personalities take on different roles, such as an inner critic or wounded inner child, and these parts may hold painful feelings like anger and shame.

​

The goal of IFS is to help clients access Self in order to heal wounded parts and bring the psyche into balance.

IFS is an evidence-based practice used to treat a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD,

and substance abuse. The treatment timeline depends on your history and the issues you want to address.

​

IFS is a movement. It's a new, empowering paradigm for understanding and harmonizing the mind and, thereby, larger human systems.

Disclaimer: I am IFS "Informed". I have completed a preliminary six month IFS training. I have not had IFS Level One training yet.

I will begin Level One training as soon as it becomes available. I have 15 years of experience in a similar ego state model, called DNMS (Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy).
