IFS Therapy in Fairfax, Virginia
Fairfax County is one of the most educated, high-income, and professionally driven communities in the country. It's also a place where high functioning can mask a lot of quiet suffering — anxiety that doesn't have an obvious source, relationships that feel stuck, an inner critic that's always on. IFS therapy was designed for exactly this.
Cushing Counseling offers IFS therapy online for Fairfax residents via Radiance Sanneman, MS, LCPC — a Level 1 trained IFS therapist, licensed in Virginia.

What Is IFS Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based approach developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. It's built on the insight that your mind contains multiple "parts" — protective, driven, anxious, critical, shut-down — and at the center is your Self: the calm, compassionate leader your system needs.
IFS doesn't ask you to suppress or reason your way out of difficult emotions. It asks you to get curious about them. When you understand why a part of you operates the way it does, real change becomes possible.
