IFS Therapy in Miami, Florida
Miami is one of the most vibrant, culturally rich cities in the world — and also one where the pressure to perform, look good, and keep moving can make it hard to slow down and deal with what's actually going on inside. If you're a Miami resident carrying anxiety, trauma, or patterns in relationships that won't shift, IFS therapy offers a different kind of approach.
Cushing Counseling is based in Miami and offers IFS therapy online for South Florida residents through Radiance Sanneman, MS, LCPC — a Level 1 trained Internal Family Systems therapist who is LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive.

Why Miami Clients Choose IFS Therapy
Miami's diversity is one of its greatest strengths — and it also means the therapy you need should understand the full picture of who you are: your cultural background, your family system, your identity, the way you were taught to think about emotions. IFS is particularly well-suited to this work because it doesn't impose a single model of what "healthy" looks like — instead, it helps you understand your own inner world on its own terms.
Whether you're navigating immigration-related stress, cultural identity, religious or family expectations around sexuality or relationships, or simply the intense pace of life in a major city, IFS therapy offers a compassionate, evidence-based path forward.
What Is IFS Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based approach developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. Your mind contains multiple "parts" — protective, driven, anxious, critical, shut-down. At the center is your Self: calm, curious, and capable of healing the parts that are stuck or suffering.
IFS goes beyond managing symptoms. It helps you understand why you feel or act the way you do, and actually heal the parts carrying old pain, shame, or fear. SAMHSA recognizes IFS as an evidence-based practice for trauma, anxiety, and depression.
