Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Don't Let Your Thoughts Control Your Life
Internal Family Systems, or IFS, is a compassionate, evidence-based therapy that views the mind as made up of different “parts”—like inner voices, emotions, or roles you’ve taken on in life. Each part has a purpose, even if its actions are sometimes harmful or confusing.
WHAT WE OFFER FOR YOU
At Cornerstone Wellness Center, IFS therapy helps you explore and heal these inner parts, guided by your core Self—the calm, clear, compassionate center that already lives within you.
Why IFS Is Used
Many people feel like they’re in conflict with themselves.
Part of them wants to change—but another part holds them back.
One part wants to speak up—another part feels scared.
These “inner conflicts” often come from past wounds or survival patterns.
IFS is helpful for:
Trauma, PTSD, and complex emotional wounds
Anxiety, depression, and self-criticism
Shame, guilt, or inner judgment
People-pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional suppression
Relationship struggles rooted in fear or mistrust
Exploring identity, inner dialogue, and emotional safety
IFS doesn’t try to get rid of any parts—it helps them feel safe, seen, and understood.
The Goal of IFS Therapy
The goal is to help you:
Identify and understand your “parts”—the emotional roles or voices within
Heal wounded parts that carry pain, shame, or fear
Unburden inner systems from past trauma or extreme roles
Reconnect with your core Self—the part of you that leads with compassion, clarity, and strength
With IFS, healing happens from the inside out—by learning to care for yourself like a loving internal family.
How IFS Therapy Helps You Heal from Within
IFS helps you turn toward your inner world with curiosity, not criticism. You don’t have to fight your feelings or fix every thought. You learn to lead yourself with compassion—and finally feel aligned, grounded, and at peace.
At Cornerstone Wellness Center, our trained IFS therapists offer a gentle, respectful space where all of your parts are welcome—and none of them are wrong.
A Simple Story:
Meet Daniel
Daniel is 41 and says he always feels like he’s fighting with himself. Part of him pushes for success. Another part whispers, “You’ll fail anyway.” And when stress hits, a third part shuts down completely.
At Cornerstone Wellness Center, Daniel started IFS therapy. His therapist helped him map out his parts—without shame or judgment. He met the protective parts that tried to help him survive, and the vulnerable parts that had been buried for years.
Over time, Daniel didn’t feel fragmented anymore. He felt whole. For the first time, his inner world felt like a team—not a battlefield.
