What is IFS? Internal Family Systems is a model that believes the psyche is divided into subpersonalities called "parts".
Sachelly Ramos-Flores facilitates virtual Ketamine journeys throughout California. A little bit about Sachelly: "I love the mind and all of its capabilities + complexities. I believe we all have what it takes to be our own healers; we just need to learn to 'tap in' to this inner wisdom. My therapeutic style would be 'psycho-spiritual' - a curated blend between the psyche & the spirit. The effectiveness of Psychedelic-Assisted therapy is evolutionary, fascinating, and carefully researched. I believe this experience is sacred and requires preparation, trust, and safety; all of which we discuss when working together."

My extensive background working with children, adolescents and their families allows me to assist in decreasing relational discord and improve family cohesiveness.
It's not what you thought it would be, and that's okay. Life transitions are hard. As much as we try to prepare ourselves, we can never be fully prepared. However, we can work together to help you embrace the changes and learn to navigate life with a new fresh perspective. And who knows, you might just find that the changes or life transitions you experienced, creates a better version of yourself. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional. I also have an extensive background working with children, adolescents and young adults.

Working with individuals, couples, families has given me great insight into how family systems and our overall environment immensely impact us as humans.
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." I believe that client care absolutely should be individualized (in collaboration with the individual), contain healthy coping skills, and help build a social support network that can help him/her/them progress towards a much happier future.

I believe that therapy is a sacred space where a client and therapist encounter to make transformative changes as a team. My indescribable joy as a therapist is to witness my clients rise from the misery of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting issues, and troubled relationships. These are my specialties guided by a principle that St. Irenaeus best describes, “a human fully alive is the glory of God.” I help clients connect with their inner potential and resources and build effective coping strategies specific to the personality, lifestyle, and predicament.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
