Internal Family Systems

compassionate approach that explores the inner dynamics of your mind and helps you navigate the complexities of your internal world

What is Internal Family Systems?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is based on the understanding that each individual's mind is composed of multiple sub-personalities or "parts." These parts can hold conflicting beliefs and emotions, contributing to internal conflicts and challenges.
