Experiential IFS Consultation

Expanding your skills with parts work.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is such a beautiful therapeutic modality. It is necessary to have a felt sense of this model in order to offer this healing to your clients. We know it is difficult to get into IFS trainings and we are passionate about making IFS accessible to all therapists who are interested.

We provide individual and group consultation to therapists with all levels of IFS experience.

If you are already Level 1 IFS trained by IFSI, Crystal is an Approved Clinical Consultant and can support you in becoming IFS Certified. Crystal provides all 15 of the consultation hours that you need to become certified and prepares you for the video review process.

Do you encounter blocks and defenses that are impacting the client’s therapy work, and you feel lost in where to go next? Maybe you keep hearing about “parts work” being discussed in your consultation group, and it seems important to learn, but you’re left feeling confused – what are parts, and how do I start? Or perhaps you know a bit about “parts work”–you might have even used the dissociative table–but now find yourself unsure of how to integrate this with your EMDR practice and what the next steps are? Our IFS Informed EMDR Course is for you! 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy offers us a helpful framework to navigate these complex blocks and defenses by honoring and welcoming these parts of self. IFS is a beautiful companion for EMDR. If you’re eager to dive deeper into how to practically use “parts work” and IFS along with your foundational EMDR skills – this course is for you.

Available for asynchronous-on demand learning.

“I'm IFS level 1 trained and have taken other EMDR and IFS trainings and I thought Crystal was like a breath of fresh air. She was knowledgeable, creative and compassionate as a trainer without over complicating two modalities that are easy to overcomplicate. It all felt very accessible and fluid. Thank you.”

"Can I just tell you how much I appreciate how you lead consultation group?

You seem to have such a natural way of holding a safe space on line that is supportive and open, as well as informative.

I am not only learning a ton about EMDR and Parts work, but also just how to effectively manage consultation groups online. So I just had to say thank you for doing what you do, and sharing your knowledge with us."
