What is Schema Therapy?
Schema Therapy is an integrative approach to treatment that combines the best aspects of cognitive-behavioral, experiential, interpersonal, and psychodynamic therapies into one unified model. Special attention is given to the deeply ingrained cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns that develop in response to trauma and adverse life experiences. These patterns have a negative impact on your mental health and wellness if they become your brain’s primary framework for organizing and interpreting information. Schema therapy is particularly effective for people with long-standing and deep-rooted issues.
Who Can Benefit From Schema Therapy?
Adults struggling with chronic emotional issues, unhealthy relationship patterns, and maladaptive coping mechanisms can benefit significantly from schema therapy.
How Long Does Schema Therapy Take?
The duration of treatment can vary depending on your particular needs and goals. Some clients may see significant improvements within a few months, but others typically benefit from longer-term therapy to address deeper issues.
What Should I Expect in a Schema Therapy Session?
In session, we will explore your past experiences and current patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. We will work together to identify and change your relationship to the beliefs that keep maladaptive schemas alive and negatively impacting your life.
Is Schema Therapy Evidence-Based?
Yes, Schema Therapy is an evidence-based treatment that is recognized for its effectiveness in treating a variety of psychological issues. This includes personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, and chronic depression. Effective treatment goes beyond symptom reduction—improving overall functioning and quality of life.
