At BrainBody Wellness Counseling, we offer Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in Scottsdale, AZ and online across Arizona—a powerful, evidence-informed approach designed to help adults heal from anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm by fostering self-compassion and deep internal awareness.

​

IFS therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—because you’re not broken. It’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been burdened, dismissed, or misunderstood for too long.

​

What Is IFS Counseling?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle, non-pathologizing therapy approach that helps individuals understand the complex emotional “parts” within us—like the inner critic, the overwhelmed protector, or the deeply wounded child. Each of these parts has a story and a purpose. In IFS, you’ll learn how to listen to those stories with curiosity rather than judgment.

Through guided therapy sessions, you’ll begin to understand why certain parts show up when they do—and how to create space for healing, resilience, and inner balance.

​

How IFS Helps with Anxiety and Trauma

Many adults with anxiety and trauma carry layers of internal conflict—parts that are trying to keep them safe, while others carry the weight of past pain. These parts may trigger intense emotions, avoidance, perfectionism, or self-criticism.

IFS therapy provides a compassionate framework to work with these patterns without shame. You’ll learn how to:

• Identify and connect with different internal parts

• Build compassion for wounded or protective parts

• Reprocess trauma through your internal system

• Reduce anxiety and emotional reactivity

• Cultivate a grounded, calm, and capable "Self"

Over time, clients often find that they feel more in control, less reactive, and more aligned with their authentic values and goals.
