IFS Consultants
Connection, Integrity, Perspective
We are IFS therapists, consultants, and humans who feel joy in connection. We have come together to support each other and to make it easier for learners to find the services you are looking for.
We have been walking the path of IFS learning and healing for many years and it is our greatest shared passion to companion others as they walk their path and learn IFS. We are all Level 3 trained, certified, and approved clinical consultants with the IFS Institute (IFS-I).
IFS Connect is a co-op with each of us being independent business owners. We come together to pool our offerings, collaborate and co-create. As we have grown we have also expanded our collaborations to include many Canadian consultants and share links to their services.
We recognize our power and privilege and relative homogeneity as white, cisgender, mostly heterosexual and middle to upper middle class women and aim to use our power to expand access and increase the diversity of leadership available in our communities.
We will be continuing to enhance and elaborate on our offerings, and look forward to growing alongside you.
