What is Schema Therapy?

Discovering the Roots of Your Emotional Patterns

Schema Therapy is a well-established and evidence-based approach that delves deep into the core of your emotional struggles. Developed by Dr. Jeffrey E. Young, it helps you understand and heal your early maladaptive schemas—persistent, negative patterns formed during childhood.

These schemas can impact how you perceive yourself, others, and the world. With Schema Therapy, we work together to identify and modify these schemas, fostering emotional growth, and enhancing your quality of life
