FREE Curious and Creative Parts Mapping Tool for Therapist
A free, trauma-informed parts mapping tool to enhance your mental health therapy practice and support your clients.
A fully customizable digital canvas for mapping internal systems—designed by a licensed psychotherapist and IFS level 2 trained clinician for use in EMDR, parts work, somatic therapy, trauma treatment, and dissociation-competent care.
Created by Sam Bergstein, founder of The Guided Studio, this tool helps therapists collaboratively map internal systems with clients using a clear, flexible, intuitive interface—without storing any client data or relying on external servers.
WHAT MAKES THIS TOOL UNIQUE
Built by an LISW-S, EMDR consultant, and registered expressive arts therapist (REAT) and REAT supervisor who specializes in neurodivergence, identity-affirming care, and complex trauma.
