Our Approach:
IFS is a therapeutic model that understands the mind as made up of multiple ‘parts’ – each with their own feelings and roles. At the center is the Self: a calm, compassionate core that is never damaged, no matter what we’ve been through.
Modalities we can use:
Depending on your unique needs and life circumstances, IFS can be blended with other modalities in which we specialize, including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Intimacy from Inside Out (IFIO) Therapy, Play Therapy, and EMDR & Trauma Therapy.
FAQ:
How is IFS different from other therapy approaches?
IFS doesn’t try to fix, eliminate, or suppress difficult emotions. Instead it gets curious about them – asking what a part is trying to do, what it’s afraid of, and what it needs. This tends to create profound shifts because every part feels heard, not fought against.
What are 'parts' exactly?
Parts are the different voices and inner experiences we all carry – a self-critical part, a part that avoids conflict, a part that gets overwhelmed. IFS says these parts aren’t problems. They’re trying to protect you, using strategies learned long ago.
What is 'Self’ in IFS therapy?
Self is your core essence – calm, curious, compassionate, courageous, and clear. IFS says Self is always there, even when it feels hard to access. The goal of IFS is to help you lead your life from Self rather than from your protective parts.
How long does IFS therapy take?
It varies. Some people experience meaningful shifts quickly. For deeper trauma work, IFS is often a longer journey. What most people notice early on is a shift in how they relate to their own inner world – more curiosity, less self-judgment.
Is IFS the same as having multiple personalities?
Not at all. Having parts is a completely normal, healthy aspect of being human. IFS isn’t about disorder – it’s about understanding your rich inner world and learning to relate to those parts with curiosity rather than judgment.
What does 'unburdening' mean in IFS?
Unburdening is the process of releasing the painful beliefs or feelings a part has been carrying – often since childhood. When a part is unburdened, it doesn’t disappear. It transforms – able to take on a lighter, freer role in your inner system.
