Schema therapy, developed by  Dr. Jeffrey Young is an innovative psychotherapy developed to assist individuals and couples dealing with personality disorders, chronic depression, and other difficult problems. It relies on integrating elements of cognitive therapy, behaviour therapy, object relations, and gestalt therapy into one unified, systematic approach to treatment. Schema therapy and mindfulness meditation are a recent blend of treatments helpful for some clients. 

The goal in Schema Therapy is to identify maladaptive schemas developed in early life, recognise their negative impact in your present life and develop skills and strategies to change these into more adaptive schemas that meet your core emotional needs.
