Schema Therapy Program

Schema Therapy Program (Individual Therapy + 9-Week Group Component)

Schema Therapy is a depth-oriented, integrative approach designed to help individuals identify and transform long-standing emotional and relational patterns that originate in early life. These patterns—known as schemas—often drive chronic difficulties such as shame, abandonment fears, emotional disconnection, overcontrol, people-pleasing, or recurring relationship challenges.

This program combines individual therapy with a structured 6-week schema-focused group, allowing for both personalized, in-depth work and shared experiential learning in a supportive environment.

Program Structure

Individual Therapy (Ongoing)
Individual sessions provide a space to:

Identify core schemas and schema modes
Process personal history and attachment patterns
Apply schema work directly to current relationships and life stressors
Engage in deeper experiential work (e.g., imagery, chair work, parts-based interventions)
Integrate with other modalities as appropriate (e.g., DBT, RO-DBT, EMDR, trauma/dissociation work)

9-Week Schema Therapy Group (Structured Component)
The group serves as an active, skills-based and experiential complement to individual therapy. It helps participants see their patterns in real time, especially in relational dynamics.
