I would be unable to pen the right words to satisfy the reservations you may have about seeking therapy when you need it. Only you can do that. There are no magic words that make problems go away, and there certainly aren’t numinous websites or YouTube videos that will do the work for you. Therapy is something very personal and wholly unique to you. It is a journey that can often be deeply fulfilling, yet like anything worth doing in life, it can also be challenging.

We all have a story to tell. What does your story mean? How is your story relevant to where you find yourself today? What are you telling yourself about your story (for many, this sounds like, "It was all my fault. I am a failure. There is no hope"). Answering questions on your own can be scary and confusing; the answers can cause painful emotions. My hope for you: perhaps by sharing your story with me, with a gentle and firm approach I have learned from over 20 yrs. of work in this field, your story will begin to change; you will find new meaning to your story; you will create the rest of your story.

Welcome to Whole Integration Therapy! I'm Emily Walton, and I am a Licensed Clinicial Professional Counselor (LPCC). I work from a Relational approach to understand how your past is impacting your present. Working together, we can try new ways of relating in a safe and confidential space.

Once known, we move into targeted skills that focus on boundary development, interpersonal skills, communication, challenging unhelpful thoughts, self esteem/self concept/self identity, secure attachment within the therapeutic relationship.

How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognizing and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
