Angela Huebner, Ph.D., LMFT
Angela is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in private practice in Falls Church, Virginia. She combines the art of psychotherapy with the science of change to help people identify and break out of patterned thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. She is a certified IFS clinician and LFY practitioner. In her 17 years as a tenured associate professor in the Department of Human Development’s Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Virginia Tech, Angela taught various clinical courses including Internal Family Systems and interpersonal neurobiology. Angela believes that when we are out of alignment with ourselves or with our partners, our system (body, mind, spirit) lets us know. Sometimes our system uses the language of depression. Sometimes worry and anxiety. Sometimes anger or sadness. Sometimes aches and pains. Our internal system provides us feedback if we listen.

Since the pandemic, rates of depression and anxiety have skyrocketed (previous statistics for depression had been 1 in 10 people; it’s now affecting 1 in 4 people). What practices can we offer our students and ourselves to establish emotional balance, self-regulation, and resiliency, no matter what we see in the news?

The Healthy Love Show: Get Ready Emotionally, Physically, & Spiritually for Juicy, Connected Love
LIVE Sep 14-16
10am-5pm EST
(free series)
I’ll always remember how I felt when my first marriage ended. I was not a healthy human.
This was way before my sunrise pictures on Instagram and Facebook; long before writing Yoga for Depression and discovering how simple movement, combined with breathing practices and sound could transform my life.
Back then I was so filled with shame, remorse and regret that I drank to numb the pain. In the television industry at the time, drinking was part of the culture anyway, so I “got away with it”, but not for long.
I felt despondent, afraid, and insecure to say the least. In fact, when I went to the dermatologist for an eczema treatment, the doc called
his entire staff in to see my chest where the rash had exploded from my arms and hands.
I was put on antidepressants, and I needed them!
If it weren’t for therapy and my discovery of yoga, which allowed me to forgive myself and release a lifetime of shame, I know for a fact I wouldn’t be where I am today.
We all share heartbreak, and that’s why I am delighted to introduce you to my passionate friend Anastasia Frank.
This series is thoughtfully curated to give you everything you need to
~ feel what you’re feeling ~
~ identify and heal your blindspots ~
~ start taking concrete, embodied steps ~
to create the aligned, lasting love you absolutely deserve.
I hope you will join us to heal what hurts at its root,
so you can feel authentic joy and create connected love that lasts.

Online Registration

IFS Meets LifeForce Yoga: A Workshop Intensive with LifeForce Yoga founder Amy Weintraub, and Internal Family Systems-trained therapist Angela Huebner, PhD, LMFT, at the beautiful Cape Cod Institute.

The combination of IFS and LFY provide just the tools we need to slow down and tune in! In the process of learning LFY practices to help clients self-regulate, increase self-efficacy and self-compassion, you will connect to the wholeness and healing capacity within yourself. Return home empowered with your own practice, a better understanding of the IFS model, and ready to share these tools with your clients. All bodies and abilities welcome!
Mental and physical health care providers can practice their specialties more effectively when they offer clients simple, evidence-based LifeForce Yoga (LFY) practices to self-regulate, experience self-efficacy and build resilience, combined with an understanding of the Internal Family Systems model (IFS). We will integrate yoga practices for accessing Self-energy and meeting our parts. Every day will include accessible movement, yoga breathing, simple guided relaxation, experiential exercises, demonstrations, case studies, and clinical applications. Throughout the week, you will experience how the integration of IFS and LFY enhances the healing process. CEU’s available.
Participants will practice accessible LifeForce Yoga skills appropriate in the consultation room, and explore the combination of Internal Family Systems Therapy and LFY practices that help:

Access Self-energy
Strengthen Self-to-part relationships
Un-blend parts
Care for parts not yet unburdened
Safely tend to exiles not yet unburdened

The LFY protocol is available to all; a yoga mat is not necessary. Participants will discover a gentle, evidence-based yoga protocol to help you self-soothe, clear your mind, and will practice:

Accessible Yoga postures
Breathing and meditations to calm and lift the mood
Yoga Nidra for self-soothing and insomnia

Amy and Angela will guide you in practices that access your natural compassion and wisdom. You will leave refreshed, revitalized, and excited about your practice, with new tools for emotional and physical balance. Read more about the synergy of LFY & IFS here.
This weekend is open to the public, yoga teachers, and health professionals. All bodies and abilities welcome! CEU’s available. Sessions are held mornings from 9am – 12:30pm with afternoons free to connect, practice, and relax!

What Alumni Are Saying:
“Both Amy and Angela are exquisitely knowledgeable and clear presenters and exceedingly kind and enjoyable people.”
“Angela and Amy were so experienced, generous, and respectful.“
“Amy and Angela were an amazing team together, they complimented each other wonderfully. And they both have in-depth knowledge of each other’s modalities so each of their presentations flowed together.”
The beautiful Cape Cod Institute features a summer-long series of week-long online and in-person CE courses taught by leading contributors to knowledge and practice. Our courses are for health and mental health professionals, as well as OD and HR practitioners, educators at all levels, and any profession that applies behavioral science to practice.
CEUs available.

Angela Huebner, Ph.D., LMFT
Angela is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in private practice in Falls Church, Virginia. She combines the art of psychotherapy with the science of change to help people identify and break out of patterned thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. She is a certified IFS clinician and LFY practitioner. In her 17 years as a tenured associate professor in the Department of Human Development’s Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Virginia Tech, Angela taught various clinical courses including Internal Family Systems and interpersonal neurobiology. Angela believes that when we are out of alignment with ourselves or with our partners, our system (body, mind, spirit) lets us know. Sometimes our system uses the language of depression. Sometimes worry and anxiety. Sometimes anger or sadness. Sometimes aches and pains. Our internal system provides us feedback if we listen.

Embodied Movements of Compassion (free) LIVE virtual "unchallenge"
2022-03-05 - 2022-03-10 | Zoom
Embodied Movements of Compassion: Harnessing anger, outrage, fear, disgust and turning toward compassion, hosted by Deirdre Fay.

MAR 6-10 LIVE virtual (free) series!
On Zoom each day at 1pm ET for about an hour.

Like so many of us, Deirdre felt the impulse to “do something” with the feelings arising in response to Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine. She quickly set up this (free) global “UnChallenge”: Embodied Movements of Compassion. The 5-day practice is designed to acknowledge the threat that comes when a person is feeling bullied, taken advantage of, or enraged, utilizing that energy and turning instead toward compassion. Come shift those “red zone” feelings into compassionate action.
We’ll do this by exploring and embodying compassionate qualities:
· Harnessing the inner protest – the anger, outrage, fear, disgust as a normal body response which can motivate us to compassion
· Embodying Strength through Self-Compassion
· Exploring body based ways to move from “Control & Hold” to “Care & Share”
· Russell Kolts‘ song tribute to the Ukrainian people helps us hold intensity in our bodies
· Karuna from MindOasis will join us and highlight how the world is rising up with passionate courage, gathering in a global wave of compassion for the underdog being bullied
· Generating compassionate community

I will offer a practice that moves us from outrage to personal courage and into compassion.
Please join us! We will all benefit from the shared wisdom on compassion, recorded or live. It’s a free series, with options for people to donate to Ukrainian Red Cross or the compassion charity of their choice. If you know others who would find this helpful, please encourage them to register.

We’ll learn and practice simple, accessible yoga skills—evidence-based breathing, imagery, sound and movement exercises that can meet and shift your mood, clear you mind, open your heart and give you more energy. These accessible practices can be used for you and those you serve. Appropriate to clinical settings, yoga classes, and self care.
Yoga For Your Mood Part 2
This session meets that revved up, hypervigilant mood that may keep you awake with worry and may or may not be an anxiety disorder. We’ll learn and practice simple, accessible yoga skills—evidence-based breathing, imagery, sound and movement exercises that can meet and shift your mood, calm your mind, soothe your heart and give you a good night’s sleep.
