Parts Work Therapy Services in Wheat Ridge & Denver
Healing Inner Conflict Through Compassionate Parts Work Therapy
Are you successful on the outside but struggling with inner conflict? Do you feel like different parts of your self are pulling you in different directions, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed? At Mind, Body, Soulmates PLLC, we specialize in Parts Work Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS Therapy) to help high-functioning professionals in Wheat Ridge and the Denver area heal trauma, resolve internal conflicts, and develop a stronger sense of self.
Our experienced therapists understand that beneath perfectionism, burnout, and relationship struggles often lies unprocessed childhood trauma and complex trauma. We provide a safe, compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome as we guide you toward trauma healing and personal growth.
What Is Parts Work Therapy?
Parts Work Therapy is a revolutionary therapeutic approach that recognizes your mind naturally organizes into different parts, especially in response to trauma and overwhelming experiences. These inner parts aren't problems to fix—they're protective mechanisms that developed to help you survive and succeed.
However, when these parts conflict with each other or become stuck in outdated patterns from childhood trauma, they can create:
Perfectionism and burnout
Self sabotage and negative self talk
Relationship difficulties
Anxiety and depression
Feeling disconnected from your authentic self
Our Parts Work Therapy process helps you develop self awareness of these patterns, offering trauma healing that leads to inner harmony and a more integrated sense of self.
Internal Family Systems Therapy: Our Core Approach
We specialize in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), developed by Richard Schwartz at the IFS Institute. This evidence-based approach recognizes that you have a core Self—a calm, compassionate, curious part capable of leading your internal system with wisdom and healing.
The Three Types of Inner Parts:
Manager Parts work tirelessly to keep you safe through control and perfectionism. In high-functioning individuals, these parts often drive success but can lead to burnout and anxiety.
Firefighter Parts react to overwhelming emotions from trauma with behaviors like workaholism, anger, or other coping mechanisms that provide immediate relief from pain.
Exile Parts carry traumatic memories and emotions from childhood trauma, often hidden away to protect your adult self from pain.
Our IFS Therapy approach helps you connect with your core Self so you can offer understanding and healing to all your parts, creating lasting trauma healing and personal growth.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approaches
Specialized Therapy Modalities
EMDR and Parts Work Integration We combine Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Parts Work Therapy for powerful trauma healing. EMDR helps process traumatic memories that your parts are carrying, allowing for deeper integration of your sense of self.
Somatic Therapy for Trauma Healing Trauma is stored in the body, not just the mind. Our Somatic Therapy approaches help you tune into physical sensations that accompany different parts, developing body wisdom and self awareness for lasting healing.
Art Therapy for Expression Sometimes parts communicate better through images and symbols than words, especially when dealing with early childhood trauma. Our Art Therapy gives your inner child and other parts creative ways to express themselves safely.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches We teach practical mindfulness techniques you can use in daily life to stay connected to your Self, even when parts are activated by stress or trauma triggers.

Understanding Complex Trauma and C-PTSD
Many of our clients discover they're dealing with Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) from prolonged childhood trauma that may not have seemed "traumatic" at the time. This might include:
Emotional neglect or unavailability
Conditional love based on performance
Family dysfunction or chronic stress
Subtle forms of criticism or invalidation
Our trauma therapy approach recognizes that these experiences create protective parts that may now feel outdated or stuck. Through Parts Work Therapy, we help you understand these patterns with compassion, leading to successful treatment outcomes and healing.
