IFS – INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (PARTS THERAPY)
IFS therapy, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, views the mind as made up of distinct “parts” and a core “Self.”
Parts Include:
- Managers: Control and protect. Keep you organized, safe, and in control. (Think perfectionist, planner, inner critic.)
- Firefighters: React impulsively to soothe pain.
- Exiles: Carry deep wounds, shame, or fear. They’re often hidden away but still influence how you feel.
The Goal of IFS: Not to get rid of any part—but to understand, heal, and harmonize them. IFS helps you:
- Listen to your parts without judgment
- Build trust between your Self and your parts
- Heal the wounded ones so they don’t have to scream for attention
In a session, you might:
- Notice a part that’s anxious or angry
- Get curious about what it’s trying to protect
- Let your Self connect with it gently
- Help it release old burdens so it can relax
It’s like inner diplomacy—creating peace inside so you can show up more fully outside.
IFS sees your mind as a community of “parts,” like characters in a story. Each part has its own voice, feelings, and role. Some parts might be loud and protective, others quiet and wounded. And at the center of it all is your Self—the calm, compassionate leader within you. The goal is to help the Self lead and harmonize these parts, promoting balance and healing.
You will be offered a safe space that allows trust-building connection. This will help you to relax so you are able to release old ways of thinking and develop new ones. You will be provided a system specifically tailored to you, which offers insight, support, and accountability.

Before coaching with Joy, I often felt overwhelmed and anxious. She taught me the importance of putting my own needs first, like the “oxygen mask” analogy. Taking a moment to pause and understand what I need has become essential. I’ve realized I’m stronger than I thought and capable of more than I imagined. I’m now better at using my voice and communicating my needs in a healthier way. I’ve also learned to be more patient with myself and listen to my body. What I loved most about coaching with Joy was the full support I felt in discovering new ways to relate to myself and my family.

Before coaching with Joy, I struggled with saying no to others out of worry of hurting their feelings.
Then Joy taught me that it is most important to ask myself what I need first. Being honest and true to myself is most important. It feels selfish, so I had to continually remind myself of the oxygen mask on the airplane analogy. I can’t help others until I help myself.
This is what I have learned and practice after this coaching experience with Joy:
1) Feeling I have more control in my life, understanding that I can only control myself. I am growing in holding space for myself no matter what others around me are feeling.
2) Embracing that not everything is my responsibility. I am doing a better job delegating responsibilities to others.
3) Paying more attention to what is going on inside me and giving myself the appropriate time to respond.
What I loved most about coaching with Joy is I have felt inspired and supported to try new ways of approaching myself and others.

When I started coaching with Joy, I realized that I have been a people-pleaser out of both want and obligation, and how heavy that has felt for me. I decided I wanted to work on showing up for myself.
Through the sessions, I have grown in motivation and confidence. I am learning how to observe more rather than immediately react to my situations. I learned that what I do doesn’t have to be either/or – it can be both/and. I can do things that are tailored specifically to me, and it doesn’t have to look like everyone else.
What I have enjoyed most about coaching with Joy is I feel like I am becoming a more confident and motivated version of myself!
Marian S. (TN)
To be honest, when I first started coaching with Joy, I thought this 90-day thing was pretty stupid. I didn’t think I needed help. I only did it because my sister wanted me to. So, I “played along” and told Joy I wanted to increase my activity level and develop a better social life. I did actually want this, but I didn’t hold out a lot of hope that Joy could really help me. Boy, was I wrong. What surfaced was my lack of self-confidence, which I have struggled with for most of my life.
I ended up working through long-held beliefs that kept me from living the life I have truly wanted. Joy helped me realize that it is okay to be true to myself. When I honor myself, I also honor others around me. I have learned and executed new ways of interacting with people, and it is a game-changer!
I had no idea when I began these sessions, how powerful and impactful they would be. What I loved most about coaching with Joy is that I feel like a new person!
Kathryn S. (TX)
Before coaching with Joy, I struggled with people pleasing. Joy taught me that it is okay not to please everyone. The most important thing I can do is learn to be true to myself.
The 3 most significant results I experienced from coaching with Joy are:
1) It’s okay not to do this perfectly.
2) Hold curiosity rather than judgment towards myself.
3) She provided a safe space for me to share vulnerable and sensitive issues without judgment.
What I loved most about coaching with Joy is that I always felt lighter after each session with her!
