Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based, compassionate approach to therapy that helps people understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves. Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS is based on the idea that we all have many inner parts such as the parts that protect us, the parts that carry pain, or the parts that want to achieve and grow. None of these parts are “bad”; each one has a role and an intention, even if its strategies sometimes cause distress.

At the center of IFS is the belief that every person has a core Self, a calm, wise, and compassionate inner resource that can guide healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients reconnect with their Self so they can lead their inner system with clarity, balance, and confidence.

What is IFS (Internal Family Systems)?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an

evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from trauma and other distressing life experiences. Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro, EMDR works by helping the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming or “stuck.”

During EMDR, the therapist guides the client in recalling specific memories while using bilateral stimulation (such as side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or tapping). This process helps the brain re-organize how the memory is stored, reducing the emotional intensity attached to it.

EMDR does not erase memories, but it allows clients to remember past experiences with less distress, making space for healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of well-being.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a widely used, evidence-based form of talk therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The idea behind CBT is that our thoughts shape how we feel and act and by identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, we can improve emotional well-being and make healthier choices.

In CBT, you and your therapist work together to:

Identify negative or unhelpful thought patterns
Learn practical skills to challenge and reframe those thoughts
Practice new behaviors that support your goals and well-being

CBT is typically structured, goal-oriented, and focused on empowering you with tools you can use both inside and outside of therapy.
