Richard C. Schwartz

Richard Schwartz began his career as a family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients’ descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns to the way they were organized across clients. He also found that when the clients’ parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would experience spontaneously the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self. He found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts.

A featured speaker for national professional organizations, Dr. Schwartz ha

Kelly McDaniel

Hi, I’m Kelly.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’d like to introduce myself. To start, this website is my professional “self”. While I bring my whole self to the work that I do, I will focus on the evolution of my practice in this section.

I consider myself a psychotherapist who happened to write two books. My friends and colleagues who are “true” writers seem to enjoy the process of writing more than I do. The solitary nature of it, the creative juiciness of if, the thrill of finding the right word(s). Writing is hard, even if it’s a true calling. As much as I love the power of language, I prefer clinical work where much of what is “said” requires no words.

Katherine Fabrizio

A licensed psychotherapist for over 30 years, Katherine Fabrizio has been working to help women heal from the guilt, shame and self-doubt that holds them back from living fully.

Katherine believes at the heart of the is problem is the dysfunctional dynamic daughters have with their mothers.

She reasons that because all women have been wounded by the patriarchal culture they can't help but pass these wounds down the maternal line.

To heal, she maintains we need to look no further than the divine feminine. In her book she explains how to look beyond the maternal lie and use feminine power to right the wrongs of mother/daughter dysfunction. .

Caroline Foster

I write books for people who are dealing with narcissists in various situations. I don’t write to display my knowledge or to brag about my credentials.
My books are simple and do not contain bibliographic references because victims of narcissistic abuse are not interested in academic works. They simply recognize the truth in what they read because they have experienced the topics of my books throughout their lives.

Dear survivor of narcissistic abuse, I genuinely care about you, and while healing isn't as simple as reading a book, I hope that my work will make a positive difference in your life. This is my ambition, and I wish you all the best.
