WHat is IFS?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a cutting-edge, therapeutic protocol and paradigm for living that offers a practical, accessible path to deep self-acceptance by embracing of all that you are. Instead of viewing your internal challenges as obstacles to be fixed, IFS invites you to see them as doorways to greater love and wholeness.
Through IFS, you come to learn that you have a multitude of internal “parts,” some of which have taken on extreme roles to help you survive early hurts and traumas. The intention of all of your parts is inherently good, even if their impact in your life today may be harmful.
IFS helps you to fundamentally reorient your relationship with these parts and invite them to let go of their extreme roles, so you can experience more joy, discover your true purpose, and live a creative, inspired, and courageous life.
Meet Your Guide
CHris Sherwin
IFS Practitioner & Coach
After spending the early part of my adult life working in a high-powered career that provided for my family and changed lives (but ultimately left me feeling drained and unfulfilled), I know firsthand the pain of being stuck in a life that doesn't align with one’s true purpose.
Through my own journey of personal development, I began unraveling the layers of fear and doubt that held me back. Today, I’m living proof that it's never too late to rewrite your story and to live in alignment with your True Self.
Today, I’m a trained Internal Family Systems Practitioner.
I’ve completed some of the world’s best personal development programs, such as The Landmark Forum and Advanced Course, and The Hoffman Process.
I bring nearly three decades of experience in various modalities: Breathwork, non dual spirituality, authentic relating, and transformational men’s groups.
A long-time spiritual practitioner, I have a daily meditation and Qi Gung practice and have studied with some of the world’s leading spiritual teachers, like Adyashanti and Miranda Macpherson.
I’m also a proud dad of an amazing 28 year old son, and I treasure the honest, conscious relationship we’ve maintained through the years.
what my clients are saying
“I’ve never known Chris to be someone who shies away from turning towards the difficult, painful, or challenging things that come up in his life. He is a true spiritual warrior who has amassed wisdom and self-knowledge from his ongoing commitment to discovering his inner truth. He is a rare man who has done the hard work of reclaiming his wholeness.”
– Aaron Thomas, Certified Hakomi Therapist
"Since working with Chris, I have learned how to hold myself and recognize what I need with greater awareness and tenderness. I can't recommend him highly enough!”
Hannah; Boulder, Colorado
"I have worked with alternative counselors for 25 years. Chris is very attuned to which parts are showing up in me. He is able to slow me down enough to make sure I spend enough time to understand each and every one of them. He does not rush and able to guide me through what is happening in the moment. Intimately getting to know and understand all these parts has brought me to a place where I can connect more deeply with myself and those around me. I highly recommend Chris as a skilled IFS practitioner. He is a kind soul ready to help you in your needs.”
Donna; Portland, OR
“I have had remarkable breakthroughs with IFS that I have not had through decades of traditional talk therapy. I believe that I am flourishing working with Chris.”
Tracy; Denver, Colorado
“I have really enjoyed working with Chris and have learned a lot about myself through our conversations. Through our work with IFS I have been able to understand why I sometimes have self-destructive behaviors and through understanding why I have these behaviors I am better able to recognize what is going on and modify my actions to be more rational and effective. I am very comfortable sharing with Chris, he has never reacted to me in a judgmental way and I fully trust that our confidence is never breached.”
Jim, Louisville, Colorado
