IFS Intensives
IFS Intensives with a Skilled IFS Therapist
Come Home to Yourself Through Internal Family Systems Therapy
You’re doing your best to hold it all together.
But inside, it doesn’t always feel like things are working together.
Parts of you feel overwhelmed. Some shut down. Others won’t stop overthinking or criticizing. You’re exhausted—from the inside out.
What if the problem isn’t that you’re broken, but that your inner system is trying to protect you in the only way it knows how?
An IFS therapist can help you understand the "why" behind your patterns and guide you in gently reconnecting with the calm, capable Self that’s always been within you.
What is an IFS Intensive?
Go Deeper. Stay Longer. Heal Fully.
In traditional therapy, the clock can run out just as things start to open up.
An IFS Intensive offers extended time with your therapist to stay with what's showing up—without pressure or rushing. It’s a spacious, safe environment where your inner parts can feel seen, heard, and supported.
IFS (Internal Family Systems) views you as a system of parts:
Some carry burdens from the past
Some protect you by over-functioning or shutting down
At your center is the Self—your compassionate, grounded inner leader
Working with an IFS therapist in an intensive format allows for deep access to this healing inner resource.
The Unique Benefits of IFS Intensives
This Isn’t About Starting Over. It’s About Going Deeper.
IFS Intensives are not a replacement for weekly therapy—they’re a powerful enhancement. Many clients come to us while already working with a therapist. We honor that relationship.
An IFS Intensive can support you when:
You’re in a life transition that’s shaken your sense of stability
A protector part has become more reactive
A long-standing pattern is finally ready to be met with compassion
You’re feeling burned out, urgent, or spiritually disconnected
This is your chance to slow down, reset, and gently reconnect.
Is an IFS Intensive Right for You?
You might benefit from an IFS Intensive if:
You feel stuck in recurring thoughts, patterns, or behaviors
You hear competing inner voices and struggle to know which one to trust
You’ve done healing work and want to go deeper on one specific issue
You’re craving a spacious container beyond weekly therapy
You want to reconnect with your Self, your body, and your spirit
Your IFS therapist will meet you exactly where you are—welcoming every part of you without judgment.
What’s Included in an IFS Intensive?
Each intensive is tailored to your system’s needs and may include:
Extended IFS Therapy with a certified IFS therapist
Somatic Practices for grounding and integration
Sound Bowl Healing to regulate your nervous system
Private Yoga or Gentle Movement for embodiment
Yoga Nidra & Meditation to access calm and clarity
Sandplay Therapy for expressive, nonverbal exploration
Reiki for energetic healing and balance
We co-create your Intensive based on what you and your parts most need.
What Can an IFS Therapist Help With?
IFS is especially supportive for navigating:
Trauma (past or present)
Anxiety and overthinking
Inner criticism and shame
Emotional shutdown or overwhelm
Burnout and decision fatigue
Grief and spiritual disconnection
Performance anxiety and perfectionism
Conflicts between what you want and what you do
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from an IFS Intensive. Sometimes, it’s just time to go deeper.
Why Choose an IFS Intensive Over Weekly Therapy?
Weekly sessions can be powerful. But sometimes, you need more space to explore, soften, and heal.
That’s the gift of an IFS Intensive:
No time pressure
No need to “wrap up”
A chance for your system to settle and trust
Some clients come once for a reset. Others return quarterly. We’ll design the experience to fit your goals, your rhythm, and your nervous system.
