Kahl Counseling and Consultation Online
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
At Kahl Counseling, we understand that people are complex. Each of us has different “parts” that make up who we are, parts that carry joy, pain, fear, and protection.
Sometimes these inner parts can come into conflict, causing emotional distress or confusion. Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) helps bring these parts into harmony, promoting healing, balance, and self-compassion.
Whether you are seeking help for trauma, anxiety, or relationship challenges, IFS offers a gentle and transformative approach. Our experienced therapists provide both in-person and family therapy counseling online so you can explore your inner world safely and at your own pace.
What Is Internal Family Systems Therapy?
Internal Family Systems Therapy, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, is based on the idea that every person has multiple “parts” within them and that each part serves a purpose. Some parts carry pain or trauma from the past, while others step in to protect us from that pain. Beneath these layers is what IFS calls the Self – a calm, compassionate inner core capable of healing and leadership.
In IFS, you’ll work with your therapist to get to know these different inner parts without judgment. By understanding why each part exists, you can begin to release old patterns of fear, shame, or self-criticism. The goal is not to eliminate any part, but to help all parts feel heard, valued, and integrated.
Our sessions provide a nurturing space where you can reconnect with your Self, gaining clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
How Internal Family Systems Therapy Helps
IFS therapy is effective for a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including:
- Anxiety and depression
- Post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
- Grief and loss
- Relationship struggles
- Low self-esteem
- Perfectionism and people-pleasing
- Emotional overwhelm or burnout
Unlike traditional talk therapy, IFS helps you work directly with the inner voices and emotions that drive your reactions. It allows you to shift from self-blame to self-understanding. By listening to these parts with compassion, you can reduce emotional tension, improve decision-making, and experience greater harmony within yourself and your relationships.
Many clients describe IFS as deeply healing because it addresses the root cause of emotional pain rather than just its symptoms.
