Description

“Part of me seeks peace, while the other part thrives on chaos.”

“Part of me clings to the past, while the other part is ready to move on.”

“Part of me fears rejection, while the other part longs for connection.”

This is the essence of “parts work,” and it’s taking the therapy world by storm.

Every day, therapists see clients battling those inner demons, holding onto past hurts, and getting stuck in unhealthy cycles.

That’s why we’ve developed this NEW course, led by Dr. Debra Alvis—seasoned clinician with over 30 years of clinical experience and best-selling trainer.

Debra Premashakti Alvis, PhD Related seminars and products


Debra Premashakti Alvis, PhD, is a licensed psychologist and private practitioner with over 30 years of clinical experience in supporting clients’ recovery from trauma, mood and relational concerns. Debra began working with parts of the self over three decades ago training extensively in Jungian oriented psychotherapy and contemplative approaches. She applied movement, mindfulness, and the expressive arts to explore parts of the self. She deepened her understanding of inner parts through multiple Internal Family Systems therapy educational trainings, combining her embodied contemplative approach with the IFS model. She finds that this integrative approach strengthens the self through facilitating the resolution of inner conflicts.

A seasoned international presenter and consultant, Dr. Alvis is a therapeutic yoga educator and mindfulness meditation teacher. She retired as faculty member from the University of Georgia where she developed and led the mind/body program. The program included a clinician training program integrating mindfulness, yoga and psychotherapy. A personal contemplative practice, research experience, and a deep understanding of Polyvagal Theory further enrich her presentations. She draws upon this unique background to provide effective, easily applicable skills designed for immediate integration into clinicians’ practices.
In addition to teaching, Dr. Alvis maintains a private practice and has more than 25 years of clinical experience in treating clients with a variety of conditions by mindfulness principles, body-oriented principles and traditional psychotherapeutic approaches. She also has an over 30-year personal contemplative practice.
