For mental health therapists passionate about IFS

Learning IFS is easy. Mastering IFS is an art.

Internal Family Systems™, developed by Richard Schwartz, has gained widespread popularity and acceptance as a therapy that heals trauma and transforms lives.

IFS is both intuitive and complex—a powerful unfolding where clients go on fascinating inward journeys to find answers and resources they forgot they had, guided by clinicians leading from their best Self.

IFS revives therapy and relieves burnout. Until the therapist gets stuck…

When IFS flows, it’s phenomenal. When it flounders, it’s feedback. Most who study this powerful model eventually hit roadbloacks or plateaus, causing their own parts to lose faith in the process, their clients, or themselves. Even highly trained IFS therapists will face new challenges, or clients whose parts are the perfect “tor-mentors.”

Weekly consultation will help you overcome common stuck points, and build trust that in IFS everything is feedback so it’s impossible to fail. Expert guidance will get your Self back into flow.

Guidance you can trust to master the art and heart of IFS.

Weekly Consultation with IFS Lead Trainers

Refresh your skills and renew yourSelf with consistent consultation from three longtime IFS Lead Trainers Paul Ginter, Mariel Pastor, and Elizabeth Taeubert—all trained directly by Richard Schwartz in the 1990s and each with more than 25 years of clinical and supervisory experience.  

Ongoing guidance from in-demand trainers can be expensive and hard to find. The IFS Consultation Collective gives you affordable access to multiple trainers—helping you strengthen your skills at a consistent pace. Be a part of the conversation and get a fresh perspective on your IFS questions.

IFS-Informed or IFS Trained? We’ve got you covered!

Each month focuses on different IFS themes and client challenges. Submit your case for live debriefing and deepen your learning in discussion and Q&A. Continue the conversation on our community bulletin board to broaden your IFS repertoire. 

Work safely with clients at a pace that is collaborative, trauma-informed, and within your IFS skill level. Improve retention rates by attuning deeply to your clients’ inner worlds, empowering them to know, love, and heal their parts.

Discover more about your own inner world, and improve connections to parts that overwork or overwhelm you in session. Reinvigorate your passion for healing work with IFS as a personal resource.

Learning from multiple trainers will help you go beyond the books and basic phrases, so you can find your own voice. Ask questions to clarify core concepts and methods as they apply to your clinical practice.

Week 4 will focus on personal integration from previous weeks, with time for deeper meditations, exercises, and peer groups for reflection and connection. Get more IFS questions answered by trainers on our Community Bulletin Board. Members can share their profiles on our learning platform and are encouraged to make connections with peers for practice and referrals.

Download our IFS-informed practice kit including Intake Evaluation, Treatment Plans, and Progress Notes developed for your IFS practice. Enjoy our library of worksheets, handouts and meditations to share with clients–and IFS topic recordings just for you.

Why meet weekly?

Paul, Mariel, and Elizabeth know that weekly consultation reinforces IFS education by bringing the model into clinical practice, much more so than monthly meetings can do. Consistent, caring immersion in IFS is not only good for clients—it’s great for therapists to get real-time feedback within a supportive Self-led community.

  • Having had both monthly and weekly consultation I have found the growth that can happen when engaging weekly is exponential and invaluable. I am constantly in awe of their wisdom, skill level and teaching ability. They both provide a learning environment that feels safe and challenging, which in my opinion is crucial for growth.

    Zila, Certified L2 IFS Therapist

  • Weekly consultation with Paul and Mariel has really helped me expand my IFS skills beyond the foundation of Level 1. It has helped me find my voice as an IFS therapist, as well as gain confidence in applying IFS interventions other than Insight that might better serve clients' systems.

    Peggy, L1 IFS Therapist

  • I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to be involved in consultation with Paul, Mariel, and Elizabeth. I am a more confident, aware, and empathic therapist because of their guidance and personal influence. The benefits increase the longer you are in the group

    Calle, L2 IFS Therapist

  • They provide consistent modelling of the art of IFS. During the days following consultations with them, I continue to notice, realize and understand even more. Remarkable. They’ve slowed me down with clients and helped me appreciate the value of every minute in each session.

    Nancy, Certified L2 IFS Therapist

  • Humor! I really appreciate that Paul and Mariel both have great senses of humor. That's very important for me in general, but especially in a field that can be so heavy. I also really appreciate that they both seem to be constantly reading and learning. They are not only very informed and current about all things IFS, but also other topics like grief and issues specific to certain populations.

    Peggy, L1 IFS Therapist

  • I have learned so much from witnessing Paul’s and Mariel’s style and practice of IFS therapy. They both are a wealth of insight and expertise in the practice of the model. Consultation has been incredibly helpful to bring real active cases, receive feedback and critique in real time, and be able to bring an embodied intervention back to the next session.

    Meghan, L2 IFS Therapist

  • Weekly consultation has had huge significance! Insights shared as well as guidance on how to approach clinical interactions have opened my thinking, my feeling, my responses to my clients. I feel more confident, more in SELF, more empathic handling difficult responses coming from my clients. I want to say the significance is difficult to quantify.
