Schema-informed Therapy

What is Schema-Informed Therapy? Schema-informed therapy draws on the principles and insights of schema therapy to help you understand deep-rooted patterns, but in a more focused, shorter-term format. Rather than the extensive two-year commitment of full schema therapy, this approach integrates schema concepts with other therapeutic methods to create meaningful change in a more accessible timeframe.

How Schema-Informed Therapy Works:

• Identify key schemas or patterns that may be affecting your current difficulties

• Understand how these patterns developed and how they show up in your life today

• Use schema concepts alongside CBT and CFT techniques for a comprehensive approach

• Focus on the schemas most relevant to your current goals and concerns

• Develop practical strategies to recognize and respond differently to schema triggers

• Create lasting change without the extensive time commitment of full schema therapy

What Makes This Approach Different: I offer a schema-informed approach that integrates valuable insights with shorter-term therapeutic methods. This means you benefit from understanding your deeper patterns while still achieving meaningful progress in a reasonable timeframe - typically months rather than years.

What Schema-Informed Therapy Helps With:

• Understanding recurring relationship patterns

• Breaking cycles of self-sabotage or self-criticism

• Addressing abandonment fears or trust issues

• Working with perfectionism and impossibly high standards

• Exploring how childhood experiences affect current choices

• Developing insight into emotional triggers and responses
