IFS and Disordered Eating Consultation
Groups for All Experience Levels
We are pleased to offer two options for IFS and Disordered Eating Consultation based on your experience with the IFS Model, and each group. Each group is designed based on the amount of experience with the model. The Level 1 group is for those who have taken an IFS Level 1 training or equivalent. The IFS-informed group is for those who have not taking a Level 1 training, but have some experience with the model.
If you are not sure which group would be right for you, please contact us and let us know your experience with IFS and we will direct you to the appropriate group.
