INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS:
 
One of the fastest growing approaches to psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) has developed over the last 20 years into a way of understanding and addressing human problems that is empowering, effective, and non-pathologizing.
IFS involves helping people heal by listening inside themselves in a new way to different “parts” – feelings or thoughts – and in the process, unburdening themselves of extreme beliefs, emotions, sensations, and urges that constrain their lives.
 As they unburden, people have more access to Self, our most healing internal resource, and are more able to lead their lives from that centered, confident, compassionate place.
