my suggestion for anyone who is wanting to do or is looking for a therapist that does IFS is not to use online listings.

here in the USA a situation is happening right now where recently its been mandated that treatment providers have a deadline to get the covid vaccinations. its no longer a choice for treatment providers.

what that means is many treatment providers are right now trying to make the hard decision of whether to get the vaccine or no longer work as a treatment provider.

the listings for IFS online are not up to date. many on those lists are either retired, or gone out of business.

add to this the listings you find online related to a specific therapy technique are usually limited to either those treatment providers that went through the training at those businesses and have consented to have their name listed for the businesses advertising and so forth. they dont tell you whether that treatment provider on their listing is still practicing IFS, or have kept up with their certification updating and so forth. those listings also do not tell you whether the person on the listing has used IFS for the wrong reasons causing harm or any disciplinary problems. all those online lists are is when the treatment provider has consented to their name being on an online list.

here is how I found my IFS therapist..
I googled my local phone directory.
I wrote out a list or all mental health agencies in my location
then I spent time calling those places.
I asked ...
Do you have any treatment providers on staff that do IFS?
Are you accepting new patients?
If I decide to schedule with you what is the waiting list?

I had an IFS therapist with in a months time.
