IFS Therapy · Online in California
You saw it clearly in ceremony. Now let's build a life that actually matches it.
IFS-based integration for people on the plant medicine path.
Featured In
You had the ceremony. Something opened.
In that ceremony, your parts opened space, and for a while, you got to feel what it's like to lead from curiosity, calm, and clarity.
That access is real. It's also not always easy to hold onto once you're back in your regular life, back with the same stress, the same relationships, the same old roles waiting for you to slide back into them.
So the parts come forward again. They've been protecting you for a long time, and trust takes more than one glimpse of that stillness to build. A ceremony can open the door. Metabolizing what's on the other side of it, that's a slower, ongoing process, and it's where the real change takes root.
That's the work of integration.
I'm Ali McKleroy. I help seekers on the plant medicine path build a lasting relationship with what came up in ceremony, using IFS, somatic therapy, and over twenty years of clinical experience.
Here's what that looks like:
You get to know the parts that stepped back in the moment you got home, with curiosity instead of frustration.
You continue to make sense of what came up, all of it.
You build an ongoing relationship with your own inner world, so the calm, grounded part of you can stay in the lead, ceremony or no ceremony.
If you're ready to build on what you found, let's talk.
“I came in thinking I just needed help processing my last ceremony. What I didn’t expect was to actually meet the anxious part of me that had been running the show for thirty years.”
Where the journey meets the ground.
Internal Family Systems
Some parts protect. Some got pushed away long ago. Underneath it all, there's a part of you that's already calm, curious, and clear.
Together, we get curious about what each part is carrying and help it unburden that weight,
The Approach
Somatic Therapy
Your body held the story long before you had words for it. As a certified somatic therapist, I help you listen to what lives in your chest, your throat, your gut. That's where the real patterns live.
Creative Expression
Some parts of you don’t have words. They speak in color, image, and symbol. As a trained art therapist, I bring creativity into our work as a doorway into the inner world. You do not need to be an artist - just a willingness to see what wants to come through.
Meet Ali
I'm a licensed therapist, somatic practitioner, and art therapist with over 20 years of experience, and the author of two books.
I trained in IFS at the IFS Institute and bring 30+ years of yoga and spiritual practice into the room with me. I've also walked the plant medicine path myself for over three decades.
I work with people who are self-aware, motivated, and ready to stop being run by the same old story. I lead with warmth, and I pair it with honesty. If I see something, I'll say it. Together, we go to the root of what's happening.
