What you wrote in bold is exactly what I think I need thank you.
Its' so incredibly say that my T can't be more flexible, and incorporate a little bit of these methods. It really hurts.

Well, I'm not Christian (ex Christian, harmed by certain denomination of Christianity, atheist now) but my T is Christian.
She never ever brings her personal beliefs into session though I've tried to find out what she believes countless times.
She can also handle me talking about how the Christian denomination I was raised in for most of my life has wounded me.
My T isn't listed on
http://isstonline.com/find-a-therapist in my Asian country, neither are the schema Ts of some RL people I know, so there might be more practitioners than shown.
Might have better luck looking for practices in your country / state (private or public), then reading therapist bios.
I'd be hesitant going to a Christian org too, but I don't think schema therapy is a Christian thing.
My nation is full of Christian shrinks despite a supposedly secular healthcare system, so yep, I did have to outright ask my T if working with an "anti Christian" like me would be a problem.
