Schema Therapy

Schema Therapy is an evidence-based extension of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, developed by Dr. Jeffrey Young. It is a deep, integrative therapy that combines psychodynamic theory, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and Gestalt therapy.​

​

The therapy helps you understand how early experiences of insufficient care can continue to affect emotions and behaviors into adulthood. This may show up as automatic reactions, emotional decision-making, distancing, or internal self-criticism. Schema Therapy provides both insight and practical tools to identify, express, and address these needs in new, constructive ways.

​

Schema Therapy offers a pathway back to what was unmet. Influenced by Gestalt therapy, it provides space for needs that were once denied, such as safety, closeness, autonomy, or self-worth.​​​
