Internal Family Systems

Written By Peta Stinson

Internal Family Systems (IFS), also known as parts work, is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps you explore the different parts of yourself, each with its own voice, story, and purpose. Some of these parts may have developed long ago to protect you, but are now keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Together, we’ll gently get to know these parts, understand how they came to be, and begin to heal what they’ve been carrying. Through IFS, we build a deeper connection with your core self, the calm, compassionate centre within you.

If you're looking for Internal Family Systems therapy in Toronto or online across Ontario, I’d be honoured to support you.
