IFS Training: Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems Institute provides training in IFS to practitioners through intensive programs called Level One, Level Two and Level Three. At any point a year or after taking a Level One training a practitioner can apply to become a Certified IFS Therapist with IFS-I by completing further learning, supervision and by having had their work reviewed and accepted by an approved IFS-I certifier. Derek Scott also provides training in IFS and anyone that has completed his Skills and Competencies Course is considered IFS Informed.
IFIO Training: Intimacy from The Inside Out (IFIO) is a form of couples therapy with its roots in IFS. Toni Herbine-Blank and the IFS-I provide a special Level Two (IFIO) that teaches this couples protocol. In addition Toni provides Advanced IFIO trainings.
In collaboration with you, I can help you understand your inner world with clarity and compassion. I draw on Internal Family Systems, CBT, and mindfulness-based approaches to support anxiety, depression, trauma processing, & stuck patterns. I offer a warm, collaborative space to heal old wounds and build a more grounded, connected relationship with yourself.
I believe that my role in counselling is that of a companion on your healing journey, providing down-to-earth, trusted therapeutic presence. And, my mission is to collaboratively foster a therapeutic environment that advocates self-empowerment, self-compassion and acceptance, while maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships.
