What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

Get Help Today

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. By addressing how thoughts influence emotions and actions, CBT helps individuals develop healthier perspectives and more effective coping strategies.

CBT is widely used to treat substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and focused on real-life skills that can be applied both during treatment and long after.

Jimmy

Empower Recovery Center offers a comprehensive approach to long-term care, including ongoing support through their alumni program, and I’ve been really impressed with the rollout of Emend Healthcare’s alumni services and the focus on long-term connection and support. Their Director of Alumni Services, Camille, is amazing! She’s passionate and truly dedicated to building meaningful community for alumni, and has been doing incredible work launching their alumni programs, with ERC being the first. It’s so encouraging to see this level of heart and commitment in the recovery space. Highly recommend learning more about their programs and alumni offerings.

I want to express my sincerest gratitude for Empower recovery. I am 9 months sober because of them. Not only did they give me the tools I needed, but the staff was so down to earth, helpful, friendly and I even still have relationships with some of them from states away. Empower really gives all foundational tools for great success
