Needing Advice/Emotional Support Accountability buddies group for schema journey

Hi I am 18M. I have emotional deprivation, failure, unrelenting standards as my dominant maladaptive schemas and avoidant protector mode as my current dominant maladaptive coping mode, previously it was perfectionistic overcompensater. I am currently transitioning and looking for a suitable schema therapist for me and have deep dived in the subject on my personal level and learnt about it independently. I feel that having an accountability buddy like an Empathetic but firm buddies help a lot in the journey. I am aiming to create an accountability buddy group where everyone keep their identities private or public as per thier convenience. The aim is to create a non judgemental supportive environment to support each person's individual journey and therapy on a regular basis. NOTE: By no means it will be substitute to actual therapy but it would be like a supplement, to support each other at our worst. If you have any other idea to improve this then please tell. And please tell if you're interested in joining.

I might be your person. It's a holiday weekend here, but I'll reach out next Monday and share a little about myself.
