What is Internal Family Systems?
IFS is a transformative tool that conceives every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts lead by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
IFS is frequently used as an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.
But IFS is much more than a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy to be used in a clinical setting. It is also a way of understanding personal and intimate relationships and stepping into life with the 8 Cs: confidence, calm, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity, and connectedness. Professionals from many different backgrounds such as, but not limited to, legal mediation, school administration, life coaches and religious leaders may utilize IFS to inform and guide their work. Our growing list of educational programs aims to serve not only therapists but the wider public and other professions.
The mission of IFS Institute is to bring more Self leadership to the world.
Direct quote from the www.IFS-Institute.com
“I thought I was afraid of IFS. It turns out I was afraid of certain parts of me because shame covers a lot of my parts. Elizabeth was kind, making sure I felt safe and comfortable as she helped me learn to love these parts with compassion. ”

“Elizabeth has been a wonderful friend to me over the years. What makes her friendship the most valuable to me is that she is truly invested in me as a person. I love this about her! She is caring and compassionate. She gives advice that has been heavily weighed from different perspectives. Lastly, she tells me what I need to hear instead of just what makes me feel better.”
