Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy Information

Beck Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit with the mission of improving lives worldwide through excellence and innovation in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy. It was established in 1994 by Dr. Aaron T. Beck and Dr. Judith S. Beck. As the leading source for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) training and resources, Beck Institute has provided more than 45,000 clinicians from 130 countries with state-of-the-art training in CBT, the most highly researched and widely adopted of the evidence-based psychotherapies. In 2019, Beck Institute opened the Beck Institute Center for Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R) to train professionals and staff who work with individuals with serious mental health conditions. In the same year, Beck Institute launched an intensive CBT certification program designed to raise the bar for excellence in the field through training, mentorship, and feedback from expert faculty. In addition to professional training, Beck Institute provides information and resources for the public on these two forms of evidence-based psychotherapy and operates a small, in-house clinic to treat clients. The Beck Institute Cares website provides information and resources about CBT to the lay public.
