Internal Family Systems therapy encourages people to embrace all parts of themselves, even the difficult ones. Its goal is to help people achieve balance and harmony within themselves.
IFS states that people do not have “bad” parts. Instead, they experience difficulty embracing all aspects as simultaneously affecting one another. IFS seeks to name and understand these parts and ultimately balance the factors that work toward self-growth.
Life experiences can encourage the various parts of the self to become out of balance, forcing the system into a less-than-harmonious operating state. Your IFS counselor will help you recognize these parts of yourself, inquire as to why you think they might be off-balance, and then assist you in balancing them.
People with a wide range of mental health concerns can benefit from IFS, but it is particularly effective for those who have dealt with traumatic experiences.

Children and teens don't always have the ability, or the words, to share how they are really feeling. Instead it comes out ...
I love my work. I love to hear people’s stories about what makes them feel alive and what inspires them.

What fascinates me about the healing process in psychotherapy is reflecting upon the vulnerable, groundless mystery of the human journey and the endless revelations of the unguarded...

Hello, my name is Ramona. I operate mainly from a strengths perspective. Strengths-based approaches value the capacity, skills, knowledge, connections, and potential in individuals. The assumption is- people can experience change, if given the resources to foster change. Regardless of your story or adjustment to life's cycles, we can work together to reach goals. I believe with the onset of a n...
