Jeffrey Young

Jeffrey Young is a psychologist known for developing Schema Therapy, a treatment approach that helps people understand and change deeply ingrained patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving—called "schemas"—that often originate from early life experiences. These schemas can lead to ongoing emotional difficulties, such as relationship struggles or self-esteem issues. Young's work combines principles from cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, and other psychological models to provide a comprehensive approach for individuals dealing with complex emotional challenges, especially those stemming from long-standing patterns and past experiences.
