Internal Family Systems Therapy in Barrie Ontario

You Deserve to Feel Whole Again

Life can leave us feeling divided inside. Maybe one part of you wants to move forward, but another part is stuck in fear, shame, or pain. Maybe you feel emotionally numb or unsure of who you are anymore. IFS therapy offers a compassionate, effective path to help you feel more grounded and connected.

My approach invites curiosity rather than judgment. Healing begins when we listen to ourselves with compassion and allow every part of us to be seen and understood.

About Me – Tatyana Bashkatova, RP

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist who specializes in helping people heal from trauma, emotional disconnection, and chronic stress. My work combines experiential and evidence-based methods such as:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Emotion-Image Therapy (EIT)

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

• Motivational Interviewing (MI)

• Transactional Analysis (TA)

• Family Systems Therapy (FST)

I offer a calm, collaborative space where you set the pace. Whether you're navigating painful relationship patterns, past trauma, or a sense of emotional numbness, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

What Clients Often Struggle With

You might be here because you're:

• Feeling overwhelmed by unresolved experiences

• Caught in painful relationship dynamics

• Struggling to trust after emotional or physical harm

• Feeling disconnected from your emotions or body

• Repeating the same patterns and unsure how to break them

• Wondering if real healing is even possible

If any of this sounds familiar, Internal Family Systems therapy may be the support you've been looking for.

What You Can Expect From Therapy

IFS is a powerful model that helps you build a deeper, more compassionate relationship with yourself. It works by identifying and understanding the parts of you that are trying to protect or cope in ways that no longer serve you.

In therapy, you can expect to:

• Explore your inner world in a safe, respectful way

• Understand and build trust with your internal parts

• Process painful memories gently and at your own pace

• Feel more integrated and grounded in daily life

Together, we’ll create a space where all parts of you are welcome. This approach is especially helpful for adults navigating complex trauma, PTSD, emotional numbness, or a strong inner critic.

How Internal Family Systems Therapy Can Help You Heal

Healing isn’t just about managing symptoms. It’s about feeling more like yourself again. IFS therapy helps many clients experience lasting shifts in how they relate to themselves, others, and the world.

Through this work, you may begin to:

• Feel more connected to your emotions and physical body

• Set boundaries that feel healthy and clear

• Build more authentic, satisfying relationships

• Move out of survival mode into a more peaceful daily experience

• Trust yourself more deeply and make choices that align with your values

Serving clients in Barrie, Ontario and surrounding communities, I offer personalized support designed to meet you exactly where you are.
