“The workshops have affected my work daily. I only have 20-30 minutes per patient, so it is crucial that the time is spent effectively. What I have learned in BI training has made my sessions succinct, efficient, and above all, using CBT gives my patients hope.”

“[The training] will definitely influence my practice. I have already been using quite a few CBT techniques with my clients but I will be restructuring according to what we learned today. I am more confident with my ability to do this!”

CBT and Beck Institute

Since 1994, Beck Institute has been the home of Cognitive Behavior Therapy  (CBT). Dr. Aaron T. Beck, the creator of CBT, co-founded Beck Institute along with Dr. Judith S. Beck to champion and advance this valuable form of treatment. CBT is the most widely researched and evidence-based psychotherapy and has been shown in over 2,000 clinical studies to be an effective treatment for hundreds of psychiatric disorders and health conditions with psychological components. 

Though CBT has grown substantially in the last 31 years, many people are still unable to access this life-changing treatment because there simply aren’t enough well-trained therapists in their locality. Beck Institute works to train clinicians around the world. We envision a world where individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal ideation, substance use disorders and other mental health challenges can access high-quality, evidence-based psychotherapies that help them get better and stay better.
