Internal Family Systems
At NYC Mental Health Counseling, we get straight to the heart of the matter. Our practice is built on the principles of real talk, genuine care, and actionable strategies.
What exactly is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Living in or near a large city has its challenges: high-pressure jobs, complicated relationships, and difficulty slowing down. Internal Family Systems (IFS) provides a compassionate and empowering approach to addressing these challenges. It emphasizes understanding and harmonizing various parts of your personality.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is based on the premise that the mind is composed of various “parts”, and that healing involves bringing balance and leadership to these diverse subpersonalities. Therapy focuses on identifying and interacting with these parts- each with their own perspectives, feelings, and memories- to heal and transform negative patterns. By fostering an inner environment of curiosity, compassion, and connectedness, individuals can better manage their emotions and behaviors. Our therapists use IFS to help clients access self-leadership and personal growth. This approach is effective for treating a range of issues, and is flexible and collaborative.
