Embracing Your Inner Diversity as a Path to Wholeness

Internal Family Systems (IFS) has transformed psychotherapy over the last several decades with its breakthrough revelation that we each contain an “internal family” of distinct parts - and that directly interacting with these parts vastly expands our capacity to heal.  Effective as support in such areas as trauma recovery, addiction, depression, anxiety and chronic pain, IFS allows us to meet and ally with these many distinct aspects of our psyche to radically change lives, from the personal to the societal.    

One of the key lessons of IFS therapy is that there are no bad parts. “Trauma or life experience can cause our parts to take on burdens,” says IFS creator, Dr. Richard Schwartz. “Yet when we bring the values of curiosity, gratitude, and kindness to these burdened parts, we discover incredible opportunities for healing and awakening.”   IFS shows us how to engage even the most disturbing or unwanted parts of our psyche with openness and love - so that we may unlock the hidden gifts and wisdom each part contains.

Many forms of therapy and even spiritual practice inadvertently put us in conflict with ourselves as we try to transcend or reject our parts. IFS invites you to embrace each of your many parts with self-compassion - and discover the inclusive greater Self that is your true nature.
