Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Mooresville, IN
I’m Andy Saunders, a therapist who shows up as a real person first. I became a therapist because I’ve lived through many of the same struggles my clients face—anxiety, identity confusion, the weight of trauma, addiction, and years of not feeling at home in my own skin. I know what it’s like to question your worth, to hide parts of yourself, and to feel lost in your own story. My own journey through recovery, mental health treatment, and embracing my sexuality shaped the way I sit with people: with honesty, compassion, and absolutely no judgment.

Even the "little" things feel overwhelming. Balancing work, relationships, and that inner voice telling you you're not good enough is exhausting. You’re carrying anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship stress like an invisible weight, and no matter how well you mask it, deep down, you’re struggling. Despite looking like you’ve got your shit together, self-doubt and irritability creep in, and making lasting changes feels impossible. Some days, it's hard to keep going. But now, you're ready for something different. You're ready to quiet your mind, to feel relief, and most importantly, to take control of your life.

I use EMDR, IFS, and DBT not as a checklist but because they actually work for the nervous systems I see most.
I specialize in trauma, neurodivergence, and queer identity, not as separate categories but as the deeply interconnected experiences they usually are. I use an eclectic blend with clients whose nervous systems have been working overtime for years. If you're autistic, ADHD, queer, chronically ill, or some combo — this practice was built was built for you.

I connect best with other queer and neurodiverse folks who've tried the “fitting in” and are more interested in a sense of belonging.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
