101 Series Workshops
The 101 Series is designed to share the basics of the modalities I passionately practice with other curious healers.
I originally developed these trainings to give my Associates a foundation for their therapy practices.
When I realized others could benefit, too, I developed the workshop series.
These workshops are perfect for you if you…
- Are curious about Internal Family Systems or Non-Violent Communication and want to get a basic understanding of them.
- Have been considering signing up for one of the full trainings and want to “try before you buy” (cuz they can be kinda pricey).
- Want some new tools and exercises to bring into your practice.
- Are an LPC, LCSW or LMFT and want CEUs.
- Just want to hang out with other clinicians to connect, network, and give & receive support
To facilitate learning and community, fewer than 15 are in attendance. Come join us!
IFS 101 Study Groups
IFS 101 Study Groups 2025-2026
24 CEUs for LPC, LMFT, LCSW
When: September, 2025 – May, 2026 — Bi-Weekly, Wednesdays 11:00 am – 12:30 pm (Beginning September 10)
Where: Zoom (Potential for In-Person at 8700 Menchaca Road if interest warrants, please indicate preference on form)
Cost: $65 per meeting with a commitment of 16 meetings. CEUs are included.
Who: Maybe you? This group is an extension of my IFS 101 Workshop (you don’t have to have attended one) and is designed for folks who are new to the model and have not yet attended a Level 1 IFS Training. If you are signed up for one, this could be good prep for you (the book is part of the pre-work) ; however, this is in no way a substitute for the Level 1 Training.
It is part book club/seminar, part consult group, part process group, whose primary focus is to get a solid understanding of the model; to be able to integrate it personally, as well as use it to recognize and work with your parts while practicing therapy and/or supervision. We incorporate experiential work along with didactic, discussion and case consultations. This group is capped at 12 members.
This will be our 3rd year, and folks in the past have especially enjoyed having time/space to get to know other clinicians, and those who have previously done self-study or online trainings appreciate the small size and open format that facilitates their bringing to life what they have studied and integrating it into practice.
How: Just fill in the adjacent form, letting me know how to reach you and which format you prefer. I’ll be in touch to schedule a brief consult call to answer any questions and make sure it is a good fit for you.
Come join us!!!

“The notion that all of our parts are welcome is truly revolutionary and opens up a path to self-acceptance and self-leadership. IFS is one of the cornerstones of effective and lasting trauma therapy.” ~Bessel Van Der Kolk, MD
Curious? Here’s your chance to learn all the basics (plus a little more) about Dr. Richard Schwartz’s innovative approach to therapy. Join us to gain a clearer understanding of how this non-pathologizing approach to healing can not only succeed with clients, but also help you as a clinician and human being.
This experiential workshop is the perfect primer for those who are new to the model, and also great for those who may have read books, listened to podcasts, or taken online self-study courses, but want more integration.
To facilitate connection, we are capping attendance at 15 to create space for discovering how you can incorporate basic IFS into your practice immediately, and how IFS can help you be a better therapist even if you do not use it with clients.
Training Objectives:
- Learn the origin of IFS, the Basic Assumptions of the Model, and gain clarity about your desire to pursue training in the model (or not) through the Center for Self Leadership.
- Get a brief overview of the Goals of IFS Therapy and its applications.
- Understand the 3 different kinds of “Parts” and how they interact to help or hinder our systems.
- Explore “Self” and “Self Energy”, including the 8 “C’s” that are distinguishing characteristics of Self.
- Practice Parts Mapping, Finding, Focusing, Fleshing Out, and Befriending Parts
- Investigate Polarizations and how they can stall the therapeutic process.
- Discover how you can incorporate basic IFS into your practice immediately, and how IFS can help you be a better therapist even if you do not use it with clients.
