Own Your Authenticity with Pride
We are all unique and imperfect on a journey to understand our place in the world. No matter if you’re gay, straight, or still figuring out who you are, we’ll help you own your identity, process trauma, heal from past harm, overcome obstacles, and build your toolbox to deal with interpersonal and relationship challenges so you can truly be in control of your life.
Rewrite Your Story, Not your Past
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy views you as a whole system with different parts carrying past wounds, anxieties, or even protective strategies. IFS helps you understand these parts with compassion, allowing you to manage them effectively and create inner harmony.
Is IFS Therapy Right For You?
Imagine yourself as a whole orchestra, with different instruments representing different parts of you. Some parts might feel shy, wanting to hide your true LGBTQ+ identity. Others might be fiercely protective, pushing you to act “straight” to avoid judgment. IFS therapy helps you understand these internal parts and create harmony within your orchestra — and it can provide a powerful tool for healing and find self-acceptance. If you’re ready to understand your inner parts and create harmony within, IFS therapy can help you embrace your full spectrum and live authentically.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can help LGBTQ+ individuals identify and heal internal wounds caused by discrimination, societal stigma, or personal struggles with self-acceptance. IFS therapy can be particularly beneficial for the queer community because it recognizes the complexity of emotions and identity, and provides a structured way to explore and integrate these varied facets.
Imagine a symphony of voices within you. This is your inner world, and IFS therapy helps you understand each part. First, we explore each part’s concerns and motivations. As understanding grows, we can gently heal pain and trauma associated with these parts, offering the support they’ve always needed. With healed parts, your true self shines brighter, overflowing with compassion, clarity, and confidence.
No, IFS therapy focuses on your inner world, a unique ecosystem of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs — the parts. Through IFS therapy, you’ll learn to understand your inner parts and become a stronger leader within yourself. This allows you to manage your emotions and behaviors more effectively, leading to a more fulfilling life.
