Internal Family Systems — Parts Work

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy in Colorado & Florida

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based, transformative approach that helps you understand and heal your internal world.

Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS views each person as made up of distinct "parts," each with its own thoughts, emotions, and roles. By getting to know these parts with compassion, you can shift from automatic, reactive patterns to healthier ways of being.

IFS Therapy — Internal Family Systems — Parts Work

Does this sound like you?

  • "I've tried therapy before, but I still feel stuck in the same patterns."
  • "No matter what I do, I can't seem to quiet my inner critic or ease my anxiety."
  • "I feel torn between two parts of me — one wants change, the other holds me back."
  • "I understand my problems logically, but I can't seem to break free emotionally."
  • "I'm ready for a new, deeper approach to healing — one that truly works."

How IFS therapy works

IFS helps you identify and connect with the different parts of your internal system, and to lead them from a place of calm, compassionate Self.

  • Managers — parts that try to keep you in control and prevent emotional overwhelm.
  • Firefighters — parts that react impulsively to soothe distressing emotions.
  • Exiles — parts that carry painful memories or emotions, often from childhood.
  • Self — the compassionate, calm core of who you are that can heal and guide your parts.
