An authentic and honest exploration of feelings in IFS therapy.

If any of these sound like you:

You wish there was somebody who could tell you why certain parts of you feel so scared and vulnerable, while others push you to be perfect and criticize every mistake.
You wish there was somebody who could explain why you feel stuck in your past, as if old wounds are dictating your present and blocking your future.
You wish there was somebody who could understand why you feel like you’re always wearing a mask, hiding your true feelings even from those closest to you.
You wish there was somebody who could tell you why part of you wants to connect deeply with others, yet another part fears getting too close and being hurt again.
You wish there was somebody who could help you understand why you keep sabotaging your own success, whether in your career, your relationships, or your personal goals.
You wish there was somebody who could guide you on how to balance the different and sometimes conflicting desires, beliefs, and emotions that live within you.

IFS therapy could be right for you.

We provide IFS therapy to help with…

Healing Parts of the Self:

IFS therapy helps individuals recognize and understand the distinct parts within themselves, each with its own perspective, feelings, memories, and goals. These parts often develop in response to life experiences and can sometimes carry burdens of pain, fear, or shame. IFS therapy works by identifying these parts, understanding their intentions, and healing them, thereby allowing individuals to integrate these parts into a more coherent and healthy self. This process helps reduce internal conflict and promote inner balance, enhancing overall emotional well-being.

Improving Self-Leadership:

A core principle of IFS therapy is strengthening the “Self,” which is seen as the compassionate center of a person’s being. The Self possesses qualities such as curiosity, calmness, compassion, and clarity, which are essential for leadership within one’s internal system. IFS therapy encourages individuals to lead their internal parts from this place of strength and compassion. This improved self-leadership is crucial for making healthier decisions, fostering self-confidence, and improving one’s ability to manage life’s challenges more effectively.

Enhancing Personal Relationships:

By understanding and transforming the parts of themselves that are hurt or scared, individuals can change their interaction patterns with others. IFS therapy aids in uncovering how these parts influence one’s relationships and how they can trigger conflict or withdrawal. Through IFS, individuals learn to bring their true Self into interactions with others, leading to more authentic, open, and less defensive relationships. This not only improves personal relationships but also helps in resolving interpersonal conflicts and building deeper connections with others.

FAQ

What are your rates?

Out of pocket cost (or private pay) can be anywhere from $85-$175 per session. If you are using insurance, speak with your insurance provider before sessions to better understand any co-insurance you are responsible for. If you need help with understanding your benefits we have a dedicated team that would be more than willing to help.

We also accept a variety of insurances so please reach out!

What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?

The difference is between someone who can do something, and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, therapy is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, if you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.

How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?

Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, therapy will be different depending on the individual. We tailor our therapeutic approach to your specific needs.

I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?

We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication is crucial to your success. After all, we only see each other for a session a week. It’s the work you do outside of our sessions that will really help you see your personal growth and development.

My partner and I are having problems. Should we be in individual counseling or come together?

If you are concerned about your relationship, and you would both like to work with us, we would initially work with both of you together. After this work, if one of you would like to continue in individual sessions, we could work with only one of you. It is not helpful to move from individual into couple’s work with the same therapist because of potential trust issues.
