Consultation for Professionals: IFS and IFIO
I offer consultation in both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO) to therapists, coaches, and other healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their clinical effectiveness and embodiment of these models.
Consultation is available in both individual and group formats, and may focus on clinical application, personal practice, or the integration of IFS/IFIO into your professional work.
Individual Consultation (IFS and IFIO)
I enjoy supporting professionals in deepening their understanding and use of the IFS and IFIO models. I offer individual consultation worldwide, in English, via a secure video platform.
In our work together, we may:
Conceptualize and work through challenging cases
Use the Insight Method to explore and understand your own parts
Strengthen access to Self energy and increase naturalness in your work
Develop skills for working with individuals, couples, and relational systems
Apply IFIO principles to support intimacy and reduce polarization in couple dynamicsSessions are $170 for 50 minutes and $250 for 75 minutes.
Consultation hours may count toward IFS and/or IFIO certification, as applicable.
Group Consultation (IFS & IFIO)
I host small consultation groups for professionals who want to grow their skill and confidence in a collaborative, experiential learning environment.
Groups may include:
Case consultation
Didactic teaching on IFS and IFIO principles
Live practice with consultation support
Live demonstrations by Jason, with space to pause for questions and discussion
Exploration of therapist parts and use of Self in clinical workSome groups focus primarily on individual therapy (IFS), other groups emphasize couple work and relational dynamics (IFIO), and some groups integrate both.
The group fee is evenly split among group members. 90-minute groups are $300. 120-minute groups are $400.
You are welcome to reach out as an individual seeking placement, or as part of a forming group.
Consultation: Philosophical Orientation
In my therapy with individuals or couples, I pay close attention to the interplay between parts, nervous system regulation, and the relational field. My work is grounded in respect for the protective intelligence of the system, and in the belief that meaningful change tends to emerge from within, rather than being imposed.
I approach both individual and small group consultation as a collaborative and experiential process. Alongside technical questions of how to intervene, I’m often tracking the development of who is doing the work—the therapist’s access to Self energy, capacity for presence, and ability to stay with complexity. I tend to emphasize curiosity, pacing, and precision, while also making room for humility and humor. I find that consultation works best when it feels like a space where people can be transparent about what’s hard, uncertain, or unresolved.
Therapists come in at many different stages of learning. Some are focused on applying the model in a clear, structured way, while others are developing a more personal, flexible, and improvisational style. I aim to meet people where they are and support movement along that continuum, including the integration of their existing strengths and prior ways of working.
comments from ifs practice group members
I so appreciated Jason’s authenticity, vulnerability, wisdom, and his calm, gentle, warm, compassionate presence. His guidance during the triad practice was invaluable. He created a safe, encouraging and supportive space for learning and exploring our parts. He truly demonstrated the 8 C’s and his self energy was evident and felt.
I am so deeply grateful to Jason! The energy he brings to this training is truly special. He created a deep net of safety for all my parts during our practice group. His knowledge of and passion for IFS is clearly evident in every interaction I’ve had with him. Even more importantly, with his loving support, he helped me embody and witness the complex concepts in new ways I haven’t experienced before.
I really enjoyed Jason and his gentle presence. He was attuned and invested in group synergy. I learned a lot from his examples and comments, I also connected with and appreciated his vulnerability. I am looking forward to learning more from him and the energy he creates in the group.
Jason was such an incredible teacher. His self leadership was consistent throughout our sessions and he brought a level of expertise that I can only hope to achieve as a therapist. So grateful for the group connections created in that space.
Really appreciated Jason’s presence. Very professional, knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. One of my favorites.
Other Areas of Interest
Consultation and Clinical Supervision
If you are a graduate student seeking clinical supervision to complete a practicum or internship, or a professional in practice seeking clinical supervision prior to obtaining independent licensure status, you are welcome to contact me to discuss your interests and needs. We should take some time to understand how my experience and perspective may or may not be a good fit for your current stage of development, and for your clinical setting and caseload. Clinical supervision is a commitment, elaborated in a contract with important legal and ethical consequences. Before making that commitment, we should have ample opportunity to ask one another questions, to discuss our approaches to therapy and our expectations about clinical supervision, and to intuit whether our supervisory relationship would be characterized by trust, respect, and collaboration – in the service of your growth and development.
