IFS offers an empowering, non-pathologizing way of life that infuses mind-body-spirit with harmony and wholeness.

About Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS℠) is an evidence-based form of individual therapy developed by Richard Schwartz, PhD, that provides a step-by-step approach to creating inner wholeness.

  • Get to know your various parts (subpersonalities)
  • Target the specific psychological issues you want resolved
  • Know your inner Self as the agent of transformation
  • Access your hidden vulnerable parts for deep emotional healing

IFS recognizes the human mind as naturally multiple. The voices we hear inside our minds are most often parts commenting about what they believe is going on. IFS also helps us discover and access our Self, the deep, spiritual/energetic manifestation of who we are. Over time, as we deepen our Self-awareness, our Self acts as an inner team leader bringing healing to, harmony with, and cooperation among our parts.
