Depression

Finding Balance Within: Compassionate therapy to help heal all parts of you contributing to your depression.

Depression is a part of you not all of you.

Depression is not a singular issue or a personal failure. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) depression is viewed as an internal conflict with different parts of you struggling to find balance and healing. While the impacts of these parts may feel heavy or isolating the intention is to reduce emotional overwhelm. In this way, IFS offers a compassionate way to relate to yourself that reduces the intensity of symptoms and ultimately heals the parts of you contributing to your depression.

IFS therapy offers a path to healing by helping you connect with the parts of yourself that carry depression with compassion and understanding.

Recognize Protective Parts
Some parts may try to protect you from pain by numbing emotions or creating distractions. IFS helps you understand their good intentions, easing their intensity and opening the door for healing.

Build Inner Trust
By creating a safe space for all parts of you to be heard, IFS fosters trust within yourself, helping you feel more whole and at peace.

Reconnect with Your True Self
A cornerstone of IFS is rediscovering core Self—your wise, compassionate center. As Self takes the lead, you’ll find more clarity, resilience, and balance in your life."

IFS goes beyond symptom management by addressing the deeper burdens behind depression. By unburdening parts, fostering self-compassion, and restoring inner harmony, IFS helps you find lasting emotional relief, personal growth, and a greater sense of balance."
