INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy that helps you understand and heal the different "parts" of you. I offer IFS therapy in person in South Bend and online to women throughout Indiana, including Granger, Mishawaka, and Notre Dame.

Most of us believe we're a single mind. In IFS, we see ourselves through a lens of multiplicity and meet the parts that carry stress, protect us, or hold pain with curiosity instead of judgment.

HOW IT HELPS

How IFS Therapy Can Help?

✓Identify Inner PartsRecognize the different "parts" of yourself, including protective, wounded, and caretaker roles.
✓Heal Core WoundsAddress and integrate the parts of yourself that hold deep emotional pain or trauma.
✓Resolve Internal ConflictsHarmonize conflicting parts within you to promote inner peace.
✓Develop Self-CompassionFoster a compassionate relationship with all your inner parts, reducing self-judgment.
✓Reconnect with Your True SelfAccess and strengthen your core self — calm, curiosity, and confidence.
✓Enhance Emotional RegulationImprove your ability to manage and balance your emotional responses.
✓Increase Self-AwarenessUnderstand how different parts influence your behaviors, emotions, and relationships.
✓Promote Personal GrowthSupport well-being and inner harmony for a more balanced, fulfilling life.

It's like taking a fascinating journey inside your mind, understanding the different parts that make you who you are. Have you ever caught yourself saying, "Part of me feels…" or "Part of me wants to…"? Those parts influence how we think, feel, and behave.

"Think of it like having a family inside your mind."

Like family members, these inner parts sometimes take on extreme roles, but within you there's a wise, compassionate leader: your true Self, ready to guide and heal. In our sessions, we'll get to know your parts, understand where they come from, and help them heal so your true Self can lead.

What is IFS Therapy?

It's like taking a fascinating journey inside your mind, understanding the different parts that make you who you are. Most of us believe we are one mind, and our thoughts and feelings are from our one personality. However, in IFS, we see our thoughts and feelings through a lens of multiplicity.  Have you ever found yourself saying, “Part of me feels..” or “Part of me wants to..”  These parts influence how we think, feel, and behave. Think of it like having a family inside your mind. Like family members, these inner parts sometimes take on extreme roles, but within you, there's a wise and compassionate leader, your true Self, ready to guide and heal these parts.

In our sessions, we'll get to know your different parts, like the worried part or the confident part. We'll work together to understand where these parts come from and how they influence your thoughts and feelings. The goal is to help these parts heal, allowing your true Self to be more present and creating a loving Self-part relationship.

Heal your inner child, connect to all parts, and find calm.
