Learning IFS Has Never Been Easier...
We're excited to be opening enrollment in the IFS Online Circle for a limited-time only. This is the 5th time we are launching this program and we've been thrilled with the raves we continue to receive from participants as well as the impact this program has on bringing IFS to the world.
We've been able to reach thousands of people from 28 different countries, and have made IFS learning accessible to people everywhere.
Through the IFS model, you'll help clients understand their inner parts, as well as discover how to trust, heal, and lead from their core Self.
The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model is one of the fasting growing approaches in the world.
Why is this? As an evidence-based practice IFS can offer deep emotional healing and inner transformation. IFS provides a revolutionary treatment plan for PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Using a non-pathologizing, accelerated approach — rooted in neuroscience — IFS applies inner resources and self-compassion for healing emotional wounding at its core.
Now is your chance to learn directly from the founder himself, Dr. Richard Schwartz and see IFS in action.
In this intensive 6-month online course, you will learn the fundamentals of the IFS model and see through clinical demonstrations the approach to healing.

Currently the minimum requirement towards an IFS Certification is an IFS Level 1 Training. IFS Level 1 Trainings are comprehensive programs that offer experiential exercises and supervised practice needed to safely help others navigate their own internal worlds especially those helping heal trauma.
- The Online Circle was modeled after IFS Level 1 Trainings which have been designed towards and are taught by mental health practitioners for professional development. With the growth in awareness and popularity of the IFS Model we now have participants from many professions and clients of IFS providers going through the IFS Online Circle to develop their own personal understanding of the model. It is not a personal development program and should not be taken as a replacement to working with a professional.
- We understand you have busy schedules and live in many different time zones, so all the calls will be recorded so you can listen to them anytime, as many times as you like. You will also be able to download the calls. The calls are uploaded into the membership site, usually within 48 hours.
- You will have access to the training videos at any time, along with the ability to download the videos or audios and transcripts. You will have access to all the course videos and materials in your account forever. You can also download all materials to your computer to save.
