The Self-Led Certification Registry
The official public register of Certified Self-Led Coaches and Certified Self-Led Practitioners.
Every name on this page trained in the Self-Led method with Conor McMillen — an IFS-trained life coach teaching since 2014 — and either holds a verified credential or is actively working toward one. If someone claims a Self-Led certification, this page is where you verify it.
How to read this registry:
- Certified Self-Led Coach — completed the Self-Led Coaching Academy, including a personally reviewed final Capstone (graduates of the original live cohort were certified through live review).
- Certified Self-Led Practitioner — completed the Self-Led Practitioner Intensive, 14 hours of advanced live education.
- Enrolled — currently in training, on the path to certification.
These are credentials of Internal Family Systems, LLC — independent of, and not equivalent to, any IFS Institute designation.

Looking for a coach?
Every Certified Self-Led Coach on this page trained in the same method: parts work grounded in Internal Family Systems, merged with practical, action-based coaching — and every one of them knows exactly where coaching ends and therapy begins. When my own session openings are full, this registry is where I send people.
Want your name on this page?
There's exactly one way in: train, and earn the credential. The Self-Led Coaching Academy certifies Certified Self-Led Coaches, and the Self-Led Practitioner Intensive certifies Certified Self-Led Practitioners.
The Self-Led Certification Registry is maintained by Internal Family Systems, LLC. Listings are voluntary and verified. "IFS" and "Internal Family Systems" refer to the therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz; these credentials are independent of and not equivalent to any IFS Institute designation.
