"Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without,
and know we cannot live within."

Risa Adams, MD
Risa Adams is a Family Physician and Certified IFS Therapist. She has a passion for supporting the growth of therapists new to IFS, offering experiential learning in individual and small group formats.
Growth Opportunities for Therapists
Learning IFS is a challenging and inspiring process. In individual sessions or groups of 2 to 6 we will explore the model and parts that come up for you as you begin to practice IFS in your work and life.
Services for Therapists
*As an approved clinical consultant for IFS-I consultation hours with Risa will count towards certification for Level 1 graduates.
Individual Consultation
Case consultation including guided exploration of your Self/parts system beginning with clinical trailheads (ie. ‘stuck points’ in your work with clients).
Note that professional parts are personal parts, and professional growth is personal growth, however this is a consultative and not a psychotherapeutic relationship.
$170 /1 hour session (No current availability)
Group Consultation
Up to 6-8 therapists will share time for IFS case consultation, Q&A, brief demos of therapist parts exploration, and
opportunities to practice more advanced techniques such as direct access. As always, getting to know your own parts along the way will be integral to this work.
$50-75 person /session (Fall session open)
Small Group Practice
Triads of 3 therapists will meet for a series of 1.5 hour supported practice sessions. Over the course of 3 sessions you will each take a turn in role of therapist/client/observer with time built in to debrief and expand upon learnings from the work.
$270 person/3 sessions (No availability)
