ECH Counseling, PLLC

Internal Family Systems Therapy is a compassionate therapeutic approach that helps you understand the different parts of yourself that influence how you think, feel, and respond to life. IFS recognizes that we can all experience different inner parts, such as a part that worries, a part that strives for perfection, a part that becomes angry, or a part that tries to protect us from emotional pain. Rather than judging or trying to eliminate these parts, IFS helps you understand why they developed and what they may be trying to accomplish. Through therapy, you can begin developing a more compassionate relationship with these inner experiences and access a calmer, more confident sense of self. IFS can be helpful for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that feel difficult to change. It can be especially meaningful for people who feel conflicted internally or find themselves reacting in ways they don't fully understand.
