Schema Therapy

Schema therapy helps you understand long‑standing patterns — or “schemas” — that began in childhood and continue to shape how you see yourself, others, and the world. These patterns often developed as creative, protective responses to early experiences, but over time they can become limiting or painful. There are several life patterns or schema’s that can hold us back. Some of them are: 

• Feeling like a failure
• Feeling unlovable
• Feeling like you don’t belong
• A strong need to please others
• A strong tendency to put other people first

In Schema Therapy, we explore these patterns with compassion, curiosity, and practical tools. Together we work toward healing unmet needs, strengthening your healthy adult self, and creating new ways of relating that feel more grounded, empowered, and connected. Schema therapy and EMDR can be used together to help people overcome longstanding struggles.
