Bay Area Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
OUR SERVICES
IFS Therapy: A Transformative Approach
While many of our clients across California face similar mental health challenges, each individual's situation is unique. This means that a one-size-fits-all treatment approach isn’t effective for everyone. At de la Rosa Psychotherapists, we offer Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy — also known as parts work therapy — alongside traditional therapy methods.
Our experienced team delivers parts work therapy both virtually throughout California and in person in our Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and San Rafael offices, ensuring accessibility and convenience for your healing journey.
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a simple yet profound investment in your Self. This innovative approach bridges the gap between intellectual understanding and emotional experience, and it’s distinct from traditional family therapy.
On the surface, everything may seem fine—”it's all good; everything is okay”—but internally, you might feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, or lonely.
You're not alone. We're here to support you in reclaiming your life and embracing your true, authentic self.
Who Can Benefit from IFS Therapy?
Everyone! Internal Family Systems therapy is an evidence-based therapy proven effective for a wide range of complex issues. Through parts work therapy, we help you hear and attune to all aspects of yourself, resolving internal conflicts such as:
Parts that want to work hard and parts that just want to relax
Parts that want to be “healthy” and parts that want to “have a good time”
Parts that want to look and be “good” and parts that want to soothe with substances, food, sex, screens, and other potential distractions
Parts that are hard on us that feel like “inner critics” and other parts that wish we could take life as it comes
Recognized as an evidence-based practice by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration since 2015, IFS therapy is supported by extensive research for treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, compulsive disorders, developmental trauma, and more.
