“When we deny the story it defines us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new beginning.”
-Brené Brown
You Are Not Broken
Trauma is not a sign of weakness. It’s a response to what you’ve been through—your body and mind’s way of protecting you. At Light Within Therapy, we believe that healing doesn’t mean erasing the past; it means reclaiming your sense of safety, agency, and self-worth.Whether your trauma stems from a single event or years of chronic stress, our therapists are here to support you with presence, patience, and deep respect for your resilience.
You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to be “ready.” All you need is a willingness to begin—and we’ll meet you there.
What is Internal Family Systems?
IFS is a gentle, empowering approach that helps you connect with the different parts of yourself—especially the parts that carry pain, fear, or shame.
In trauma, certain protective parts may become overactive, while wounded parts may remain hidden. IFS helps create space for all of these inner experiences, allowing you to approach them with compassion rather than fear.
As you build a relationship with your inner world, healing and integration can unfold.
