Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy in Santa Barbara, CA and Online
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is an evidence-based, holistic approach to mental health that helps individuals understand and heal their inner world. IFS teaches us to work compassionately and effectively with all “parts” of ourselves. For example, most of us have an inner critic that, with kindness, can be befriended and transformed.
One of the central insights of IFS is that there are no bad parts — meaning the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors we want to heal usually began as well-intentioned ways to cope with pain. IFS offers a deeply compassionate view of human nature, as well as a structured framework for making meaningful, lasting change.
I work with individuals, as well as couples and families, in Santa Barbara, CA and Online.
