IFS Therapy
IFS is a powerful therapeutic approach that offers more direct access to the challenges that are bringing you to therapy and supports profound reconnection with yourself. IFS recognizes how the challenges we encounter in life - painful relationships, trauma, grief, rejection, cultural and systemic oppression - cause us to absorb the pain and burdens of these experiences. We develop negative narratives of ourselves, find ourselves in unhealthy relationships, and repeating patterns that leave us feeling dysregulated, heavy, stuck, hopeless. IFS therapy helps clients understand how these unhealthy behaviors and patterns - depression, addiction, people-pleasing, anxiety - all have a function and are trying help us survive these painful experiences. IFS helps clients look directly at these “parts” of ourselves in order to heal the pains of the past, restore a sense of agency, and create a new internal foundation of confidence, curiosity, and connection.
IFS Intensives
Intensives consist of 2-hour focused IFS sessions and offer a deep dive into specific challenges (“parts”) you want to work with for accelerated healing. For clients who don’t have time for weekly sessions or are wanting to dedicate longer, concentrated time with their parts, intensives may be a good fit for you. A few IFS intensives allow clients the opportunity to immerse themselves in IFS parts work that might otherwise take weeks/months.
EMDR
EMDR is an evidenced-based model that is highly effective at helping people recover from trauma and distressing life experiences. EMDR typically is a shorter-term trauma treatment that uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements or other side-to-side stimulation) to reprocess and decrease the charge of distressing memories. When we experience trauma, it disrupts our brain’s naturally ability to store and file our experiences - leading to intrusive thoughts, memories, emotions and body sensations that keep getting triggered. EMDR helps restore your brain’s natural processing system to properly “file away” these once-distressing memories.
