IFS – Internal Family Systems
(aka our inner parts and voices)
A major part of our method includes helping our clients to develop their inner parts or learn to pay attention to one’s inner chatter of the mind for their own personal growth. We discuss how each of us has parts that have different talents, insights, and tasks which when managed, well directed, and coordinated can lead to our richer more fulfilling life. With compassion, caring, and clarity we encourage clients to explore their parts and talents as they develop their new path to happiness and their goals for today and their future.
Adults, couples, teens, and even children all find they can learn how to work with their inner parts for their own enjoyment and balance in life.
Family Systems
Family Systems is about you and your family of origin and the influences those family members, relationships, and lives may have influenced yours. It is about examining one’s history and determining if the path we are currently following is one of fulfillment …. Or examining what is no longer useful and developing our more mature and adult self while learning some methods and skills as we change and evolve to create our improved direction and goals.
Trauma
At Rio Rancho Family Counseling Center, we have had training and experience in trauma work. Our clinicians know how important it is to listen, to validate the experiences which may have created out-of-date coping systems which now require some updating. During the therapy process clients learn to use a variety of methods which help support them on the ‘road to recovery’ from their trauma history. Clients learn that parts of this trauma are valuable for them, and their history is what has influenced who they have become. During therapy this is sorted out and the assets are kept while the liabilities are removed or diminished, and replaced with more fulfilling strategies and coping skills.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Learning to manage a habit or behavior that gets in our way can be directly addressed with cognitive behavioral techniques and new behaviors can be learned. Clients find they develop new methods of self-monitoring leading to an easier, smoother life for themselves and those they live with.
Therapy for Children
At Rio Rancho Family Counseling Center, we offer a variety of client centered strategies that facilitate a child’s growth or ‘corrective actions’. These include helping youngsters to gain insight and resolution of problems with the use of IFS (Internal Family Systems aka parts work), play therapy, including art therapy, games and other creative methods which can provide an opportunity for the child to gain a better awareness of the impact of his behavior while developing more acceptable behaviors.
Couples Therapy
Couples find that communication styles and differences in family rearing can block them from the friendship and intimacy of their marriage. In couples counseling with gentle discussion and examination of these differences and patterns - which typically came from their family of origin -are what prevent them from learning about each other’s style. Once a couple becomes more aware of this, they can develop their own couple pattern for their own individual marriage.
Parent-Child Therapy
Many of us discover the methods of our parents are no longer suitable for our modern families. Counseling with parents and their children are one vehicle that families can use to develop and work out more useful and acceptable guidelines for their children and their family.
