Specializing in IFS Therapy
Welcome to New Dawn Therapy, a safe space to explore your inner world through Internal Family Systems therapy.
About Maile Ellis
I am a Level 1 certified IFS therapist, as well as a mental health nurse. I have been a nurse for 13 years, specializing in mental health and hospice. Prior to nursing, I was a licensed acupuncturist and herbologist. I have always had a strong interest in the mind/body connection, and on inner healing and finding peace within ourselves.
​
A few years ago, I discovered IFS after going through a very difficult period in my life. I had received psychotherapy before, but found IFS to be incredibly powerful and healing. I was so excited by the therapy that I decided to get certified in it myself, so that I could help others. I love bringing this therapy to people and helping create more understanding and trust within themselves.
​
Learning and using IFS on a daily basis has changed how I view myself, others, and the world, and my hope is it will do the same for you.
What is Internal Family Systems?
Internal Family Systems believes that we are all made up of parts, each having their own beliefs and personalities. These parts create an internal world, with some parts taking over at various times depending on the situation.
​
As we get to know these parts and why they behave in certain ways, we gain deeper understandings of why we respond and feel the way we do. We not only understand these parts, but we can heal them, letting go of their trauma and unhelpful behaviors, and creating more inner harmony.
​
IFS therapy is a journey in getting to know our inner landscape, learning to honor it, and helping to heal it. If you have ever wondered why you react the way you do in certain situations, or simply want to understand yourself on a deeper level, IFS might be right for you.
