Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic model that believes our psyche is comprised of different “parts” with their own beliefs, feelings, and roles. Central to IFS is the idea that these parts often develop in response to life experiences, particularly trauma, leading to conflicts within oneself. Through IFS clients learn to understand and heal their internal dynamics, promoting self-acceptance and emotional resilience. By addressing the needs and concerns of each part, IFS empowers individuals to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Dance Movement Therapy
Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is a therapy that uses movement to enhance emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being. Rooted in the understanding that the body and mind are connected, DMT encourages individuals to explore their feelings through movement rather than words. This therapeutic approach can help clients process trauma, reduce anxiety, and improve body awareness. Through DMT and engaging in movement, clients can discover new ways to express emotions, leading to personal growth and healing.
