Internal Family Systems within individual therapy

Internal Family Systems Therapy in Oak Brook

Sabrina Gosmire, LCPC, CADC, KAP

Internal Family Systems, often shortened to IFS, is an approach that can help people explore different internal reactions, protective patterns, and conflicting needs with curiosity rather than judgment. Sabrina Gosmire incorporates IFS into her work.

What IFS may explore

IFS-oriented work may help clients notice different internal responses, understand what those responses are trying to protect, and build a more compassionate relationship with parts of themselves that feel reactive, critical, fearful, or stuck.

IFS with Sabrina Gosmire

Sabrina's approach includes Internal Family Systems alongside CBT, KAP, and mindfulness-based approaches.

How IFS fits within counseling

IFS can be part of an individualized therapy plan. It does not require every session to follow the same structure and does not guarantee a particular outcome.

Is IFS the right fit?

Intake can help clarify whether Sabrina's IFS-informed work fits your goals or whether another clinician or approach would be more appropriate.
