Change isn't always well received. When something happens in your life that is shocking or unexpected, you may try to deny that it actually took place. You may not be ready or able to process what happened. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

You wake up in the morning excited to start your day. You start thinking about the meetings on your calendar, what you're planning to do for lunch, and any after-work t0-dos or plans. But then your mind starts to wander.

Each person has an internal self that is made up of different parts of oneself and different experiences and interactions that occurred throughout their lifetime. Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFST) uses these different parts of the self to promote healing.

You're compassionate and generous, but you're also very emotional and sensitive. You're very intuitive, but you're also exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly overthinking.

When you have a sore throat and a fever, it’s time to see the family doctor. Your illness is affecting your daily life. The doctor diagnoses you with strep. So, you take a course of antibiotics and you feel better within a few days.

Whether this is your first time trying therapy or your first time trying online therapy, you may not know what to expect in your first appointment. Feeling anxious or nervous about online therapy is completely normal!
