Proven Therapy For A Better Life.
Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (CET) is a SAMHSA- recognized (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration), Evidence-Based Practice that helps people with schizophrenia and related cognitive disorders improve their processing speed, cognition, and social cognition. Research strongly suggests that impairments in these mental capacities contribute to functional disability in people with schizophrenia. CET rehabilitates these capacities and maximizes success in all activities of recovery. As a result, CET participants increase their potential to engage in meaningful social roles and to live independent, self-determined, and satisfying lives in the community.

A Supportive Environment For Successful Results.
Cognitive Enhancement Therapy is a 48-week program with a 1-hour computer group, 1.5-hour social cognition group, and a half-hour individual coaching session each week. We create a supportive environment where group members can build confidence by practicing their social skills through partner work and other group exercises. We also encourage our participants to improve their overall cognition by challenging participants to engage their brains with cognitive exercises. Overall, group members improve processing speed, attention, memory, problem-solving, flexible thinking, social cognition, sense of purpose, and understanding of their disability.
