What is Therapy?
““Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being.… [It] occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.””

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a non-pathologizing psychotherapy that views the human mind as a system of multiple inner "parts" guided by a core Self. An IFS session looks less like traditional symptom-fixing and more like a guided, internal conversation with your own mind. You'll sit and talk with your therapist about what you're feeling, while they help you identify and get to know different emotional "parts" of yourself.
