Couples Therapy

Welcome to Transformative Couples Therapy with Internal Family Systems (IFS) in the Bay Area located in Oakland, CA

In the journey of a relationship, couples often face challenges that can test their connection and understanding. At our practice, we offer a unique approach to couples therapy using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a powerful and transformative method designed to foster deeper understanding and healing within relationships.

What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is an evidence-based approach developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. It focuses on the idea that our minds are made up of different “parts,” each with its own perspectives, memories, and roles. These parts interact with each other and influence our emotions and behaviors. The core of IFS therapy is the belief that every individual has a central Self that is wise, compassionate, and capable of leading and healing their internal system.

In the context of couples therapy, IFS helps partners understand and navigate their internal worlds, leading to improved communication and connection. It encourages both partners to explore their own internal parts and understand how these parts influence their interactions with each other.

How IFS Therapy Benefits Couples

Enhanced Self-Awareness: IFS therapy helps each partner identify and understand their own internal parts, including those that may be causing distress or conflict. By becoming more self-aware, partners can communicate their needs and feelings more effectively.
Deeper Empathy and Connection: As partners learn about each other’s internal systems, they can develop a deeper sense of empathy and compassion. This understanding fosters a stronger emotional connection and helps resolve conflicts more constructively.
Healing Past Wounds: IFS therapy addresses unresolved emotional wounds that may be affecting the relationship. By healing these wounds, couples can break free from patterns of behavior that are damaging their relationship.
Improved Communication: By recognizing and addressing the different parts that influence their communication styles, partners can engage in more open and honest conversations, leading to better mutual understanding and problem-solving.
Stronger Relationship Resilience: IFS therapy equips couples with tools to manage and resolve conflicts in a healthier way. This builds resilience and strengthens the relationship, helping partners face future challenges together.

What to Expect in IFS Couples Therapy

In our IFS couples therapy sessions, you can expect:

Individual and Joint Sessions: We offer both individual and joint sessions to explore each partner’s internal system and how it interacts with the other’s.
Safe and Supportive Environment: Our therapists create a safe space where both partners can openly express their feelings and experiences without judgment.
Guided Exploration: Through guided exploration and therapeutic exercises, partners will delve into their internal parts, uncovering the underlying dynamics that influence their relationship.
Collaborative Process: IFS therapy is a collaborative process where both partners work together with the therapist to understand and address the challenges they face.
