What Is IFS Therapy?

IFS helps you identify, understand, and harmonize your internal parts. Through this approach, you can:

  • Recognize and name the different parts of yourself

  • Understand how past experiences affect your present behavior

  • Heal wounded or traumatized parts

  • Reduce internal conflict and self-criticism

  • Strengthen your “Self,” the core compassionate center of your mind

By working with your internal system, IFS Therapy encourages self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional healing.

Who Can Benefit From IFS Therapy?

IFS is effective for teens, adults, and young adults experiencing:

  • Trauma or past abuse

  • Anxiety, depression, or mood disorders

  • Low self-esteem or self-critical thoughts

  • Difficulty managing emotions

  • Internal conflict or “inner battles”

  • Relationship struggles influenced by unresolved internal patterns

  • PTSD or complex trauma

IFS Therapy is particularly helpful for those who want to heal past wounds while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves.

Why Choose IFS Therapy?

  • Self-compassion focused: Builds understanding and kindness toward yourself.

  • Evidence-based: Supported by research and clinical experience.

  • Insightful and empowering: Helps you understand internal patterns that influence behavior.

  • Non-pathologizing: Views all parts as having positive intent, even when they create challenges.

IFS Therapy helps you integrate all parts of yourself, reduce inner conflict, and move forward with clarity, balance, and self-acceptance.

IFS Therapy in Tacoma

Understand Yourself and Heal From Within

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps individuals explore and understand the different “parts” of themselves.

IFS Therapy views the mind as made up of multiple sub-personalities, or “parts,” each with its own feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Some parts may hold pain or trauma, while others protect you in ways that were helpful in the past but may now cause stress or conflict.
