Although many of our clients throughout California are living with similar mental health challenges, the nuances of everyone’s situations are unique. Unfortunately, that means there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment everyone can benefit from. But at Tatra-Li de la Rosa Counseling & Therapy, we offer a unique approach in addition to more traditional forms of therapy and counseling: Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Due to its simplicity, IFS can be utilized either online (virtually) or in our Santa Rosa office.

What Is IFS Therapy?

Not to be confused with family therapy (though this method can be used with couples, in families and other group settings), IFS therapy is a lasting investment in your Self. Together we will embark on a journey to find answers inside and cultivate harmony within. Working with us, you will learn how to love and heal the parts of yourself that you have struggled with throughout your life. Internal Family Systems therapy can help deepen your self-awareness and expand the way you perceive both yourself and the world around you. By connecting with your parts, you can learn to practice more innate compassion. In doing so, you learn how to live in your true and authentic self.

Internal Family Systems bridges the gap between what one knows in their head and feels in their heart. Externally, it probably looks like you have it all together—“it’s all good, everything is fine.” But on the inside, you find yourself feeling more overwhelmed, confused, stuck, lost, lonely or simply coping in ways that hold you back. You are not alone. We can help you reclaim your life and love who you are.

Who Benefits From IFS Therapy?

IFS is an evidence-based treatment, which means that it has been proven to be an effective psychotherapy model. IFS can treat a variety of issues including:

• Complex and acute trauma
• Mood and anxiety disorders
• Addictions and food/body image disorders
• Family and relationship stressors
• Many other “stuck” areas in life

IFS therapy has been considered an evidence-based practice by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration since 2015. To learn more about the practice of IFS and how it might be able to help you, visit ifs-institute.com.

The team at Tatra-Li de la Rosa Counseling & Therapy has undergone extensive IFS therapy training and we will guide you as you reconnect with your Self, befriend the parts of you that are extreme or reactive, and heal the wounds and burdens underneath, allowing you to live with greater ease and balance. As more of you is healed and becomes more readily available to be in relationships with others, the quality of those relationships will improve, which will create other positive ripple effects in your life. Live the life that’s waiting for you! We work with clients in both virtual and in-person settings.
