The Schema Therapy Institute Midwest - Indy was founded in 2010 to provide training and supervision in individual, group and child-adolescent Schema Therapy. The training programs provided here are approved by the International Society of Schema Therapy to meet the requirements for international certification as a standard or advanced level schema therapist and supervisor-trainers.

Joan and Ida are both Advanced level schema therapists and certified trainer-supervisors in individual and group Schema therapy. Ida is also an advanced level schema therapist and supervisor trainer in Child-Adolescent Schema Therapy.

Up until 2020, Joan & Ida traveled to provide in person training in 22 countries. During the covid pandemic we moved all training to the online format of Zoom. We plan to continue online training and supervision as travel as we move into our 70s is just not as easy or fun and our 3 Yorkies, born during the stay at home orders will not let us out of the house.
