Ian WhitmarshMarriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT, MA, PhD

About

I use a heart-centered approach to facilitate a sense of freedom and compassion for all that is inside you. I'm a Level 3 Internal Family Systems practitioner and I’m also a Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at University of California San Francisco where I lead research on IFS. IFS is a method for going inward and getting to know and welcome all parts of you. We all have a creative power within us that knows how to heal and that cannot be damaged. In my work, I help you connect with that power inside yourself. I offer therapy through the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy. I specialize in issues of relationships, anxiety, career, shame, trauma, parenting, and grief. I help people to reach their sense of freedom and creativity. I affirm all different racial, gender, and sex identities.
