INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS IMMERSIVE
Cultivate Inner Flourishing
Discover healing from within through transformative parts-work with an experienced, compassionate mental health practitioner
"IFS is a way of empowering ourselves to be our own healer, and to trust our own inner wisdom." -Richard Schwartz
What is IFS Therapy?
IFS therapy is rooted in the idea that we each have a true Self—a calm, confident and centered core that exists beneath the layers of parts that work to protect us. Without intentional awareness and practice, it’s normal to feel at odds with our range of parts: “a part of me wants to go back to school, another part of me is so scared of failure”; “part of me wants to defend myself, and part of me wants to stay quiet”. These inner conflicts can keep us stuck, feeling burdened by parts that seem to cause more pain than peace.
The Internal Family Systems (IFS) modality is a powerful way to gently bring harmony to your inner world, helping you reconnect with your core Self. By learning to understand and integrate all parts of yourself, you can experience a profound shift in your life, healing and wholeness.
The heart of IFS therapy is learning how these parts are actually intended to work for your good, even when they feel overwhelming, and even destructive. Our IFS Immersive package guides you toward seeing and understanding your unique parts and their intentions with the goal of deep connection + healing through Self.
When connected to Self, you naturally embody what Richard Schwartz, Founder of IFS, has identified as the 8 C's and 5 P's.

Who You're Working With
Luke Smallcomb
Mental Health Practitioner Specializing in Trauma Healing
Luke has his Masters in Clinical Counseling, and has found great fulfillment working with clients for over a decade as he has been on his own journey of trauma recovery. Having seen the effectiveness of an integrated “top-down” (mind) and “bottom-up” (body) approach, he mindfully blends parts work, nervous system regulation, EMDR, attachment science, somatic work + applied neuroscience to help cultivate an environment where healing naturally unfolds.
The Package
This immersive program is designed to guide you on a journey of self-discovery and healing through both individual learning and hands-on parts-work. This looks like:
-
Video Teaching
You’ll start with a 1-hour video lesson for a foundational understanding of the framework of IFS, taught together by Luke & Lauren Smallcomb
-
1-on-1 Sessions
During three (3) 50-minute 1-on-1 sessions with Luke, you'll begin to identify and get to know key parts of your unique system. Within the safety and co-regulation of this work, you'll gain more access to Self, who is the ultimate healer within you. You'll cultivate a deeper connection with yourself, reconsider the ways you relate to your inner world, and shape new resources for ongoing self-healing
-
Time Commitment: 1 Month
Consisting of one (1) week to go through the video teaching on your own, followed by three (3) consecutive weeks of 1x/week sessions
What Past Clients Have Shared:
“I found Luke to be the perfect blend of personal and professional. His questions and direction were excellent. I have realized how important my underlying beliefs are in affecting my feelings and ultimately my behaviors. His experiences before counseling very much helped him to be able to relate to me in the situation I found myself in. I would definitely recommend Luke to anyone looking to heal + grow. I have experienced so much more joy, peace, and enthusiasm for life from working with him.”
“When I started with Flourish Therapy I wasn’t aware of my feelings and couldn’t identify what I was feeling. I spent my whole life stuffing and getting angry when challenged to talk about things. The IFS program was monumental to my success. I can finally identify and have the proper language to use to describe my feelings and have the hard conversations that I previously avoided. I self protected my whole life to avoid conflict. This was extremely hard in my marriage and almost caused divorce. Through daily practice of the program, I was finally able to stop self protecting and see beauty and have peace. My life has been changed forever.”
Frequently Asked Questions
You are an intricate, vibrant blend of all the parts that make you whole. No matter how long you've carried the weight of your struggles or how challenging the road has felt, there’s a steady, core within you—always present, always ready to guide you forward.
What if I’ve never done parts-work before?
This immersive program is designed to be a gentle and comprehensive approach to IFS—accessible to everyone— regardless of prior experience.
What if I already have familiarity with IFS—can I still benefit from this?
Absolutely. Not only will we go deeper into your awareness and experience during our 1-on-1 time, but the video teaching will be an opportunity to further solidify and expand on your existing foundation of IFS. Further, I’m here to customize this immersive experience to your unique needs and intentions.
What outcome can I expect from this type of therapy?
In our work together, we’ll explore your unique parts with patience and empathy, allowing them to soften as they see that your core Self is ready to lead. Over time, you’ll experience a greater sense of freedom as these parts find their place in your life in a healthier, more balanced way. This could look like improvement in symptoms of anxiety, depression, C-PTSD, addiction, compulsive behaviors, self-harm, shame, self-hatred, anger, abusive behaviors, ect. Through parts-work you can experience a much more meaningful connection with yourself, those you care about and your purpose.
How soon will I experience results?
Every journey is unique. However, many clients notice an increased sense of peace and clarity, and reducti0n in shame early on as they become familiar with their parts.
How long will I have access to the video teaching?
This is yours to access forevermore. There is no expiration date.
What if I can’t do three consecutive weeks of 1-on-1 sessions?
The structure of weekly sessions is intended to build momentum and consistency, as well as to establish habit. This may be hindered with reduced frequency. However, we are open to flexing for your particular needs.
What if I want to keep going with IFS work?
If you find yourself wanting more support after our three 1-on-1 sessions, you’re welcome to continue with another monthly IFS Immersive or purchase one of our 3- or 6-month packages. Sessions in these packages expand beyond the bounds of IFS, but if the IFS paradigm seems to really click for you, we can certainly use that as our therapeutic framework moving forward.
Do I need additional teaching or therapy to get the full benefit of IFS work?
No, this package is designed to provide you with enough information and tools to build a meaningful practice of parts-work in your day-to-day life. Additionally, I'm prepared to recommend additional resources near the end of our 1-on-1 time, whether it be in the form of reading, listening, ect, I welcome the request for self-study resources.
How is this different from your 3- and 6- month packages?
This IFS Immersive package was designed to be a focused offering for those who know they want to invest in parts-work solely. The package is offered at a special rate for a focused and concise amount of time, which makes it a smaller investment both time and finance-wise.
Here is an invitation to carefully untangle and understand the ways your parts have structured your inner world with the intention of protecting you. If you’re ready to invite compassion and clarity into your life, let's gently guide you to a deeper connection with your truest Self.
Parts are thrust into given roles and they long to be released from them, once they are free they transform. -Carrie Holladay
