CBT Therapy in
Massachusetts
At Refresh Recovery Center in Norwell, Massachusetts, you’ll receive personalized cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) from licensed clinicians. Our evidence-based CBT therapy helps treat addiction, anxiety, and depression with lasting results.
What Is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a structured, goal-focused form of psychotherapy. You learn to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then replace them with healthier patterns.
Unlike general talk therapy, CBT gives you practical tools you can use right away. You’ll practice skills to manage cravings, handle triggers, and respond to stress with more control.
CBT vs. DBT: The Main Difference
CBT helps you change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation and acceptance. Many clients benefit from using both together for stronger results.
