Joseph P Clark

I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained therapist. Internal Family Systems is a powerful and transformative Self Led therapy. IFS is a loving way of relating internally to your parts and externally to the people in your life. IFS is an experiential form of therapy that reharmonizes your inner system. IFS is about being curious and courageous.

My therapeutic approach is based on the core principles of the therapies that make up my eclectic background. The core principles are (1) the assertion that each person possesses a healthy inner core, a deeper connection to the Self, and (2) that sharing one's inner qualities with others allows one to discover the benefits of this connection to the Self. And (3) that while fulfillment and happiness are not guaranteed in life, meaning and a sense of purpose are available regardless of circumstances.
FS provides a safe environment to expand your self-awareness and increase your self-compassion. As you develop your curiosity and explore your larger Self, you gain insights into past burdens and trauma that have contributed to your pain and unresolved issues. In the IFS model, you reconnect to your natural ability to heal.
