Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Get to know the parts of you that carry the weight.
Free phone consultation. In Sisters, a half hour from Bend and Redmond, or by secure video anywhere in Oregon.
Individual sessions $190, couples sessions $195. A sliding scale is available. Not every clinician takes every plan; we match you with someone who takes yours.
Most of us talk about ourselves in parts without noticing. "Part of me wants to leave, part of me is terrified to." "I don't know why I keep doing this. It's like something takes over." IFS takes that everyday language seriously. Those parts are real, they have histories, and every single one of them, even the ones causing the most trouble, is trying to protect you.
This may be for you if…
- You feel at war with yourself: harsh self-criticism, inner conflict, self-sabotage
- Old patterns keep repeating no matter how much insight you have
- Anxiety, depression, or shame that hasn't shifted with other approaches
- Childhood wounds or trauma you're ready to approach at your own pace
- You've done talk therapy and want to go deeper than managing symptoms
In our work together, we slow down enough to actually meet these parts. The inner critic that never lets up. The achiever who can't rest. The part that numbs out with a screen or a drink at the end of the day. Instead of trying to override them, we listen. What are they afraid would happen if they stopped? Almost always, they're guarding something younger and more tender: pain from a time when you didn't have the resources you have now.
As parts begin to trust that they don't have to work so hard, something remarkable becomes available: more calm, more clarity, more capacity to be present in your own life. IFS calls this Self-energy. You don't have to manufacture it. It's already there, underneath.
We have spent much of our careers practicing and teaching this model, and it remains the backbone of how we work. It pairs naturally with somatic approaches and is the foundation for the deeper work we do in retreats.
