COPE Program

CBT-Based Support for Teens & Young Adults: The COPE Program

Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment (COPE) is a structured, evidence-based program rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It’s designed to help adolescents and young adults understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected — and how to use that insight to improve emotional health, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges with more confidence.

Who Is It For?
The COPE Program is ideal for:

  • Teens struggling with depression or anxiety

  • Young adults facing life transitions or school stress

  • Youth with low self-esteem or emotional dysregulation

  • Clients who may not yet be ready for trauma processing (like EMDR)

What Teens & Families Learn:

  • How to reframe negative thinking patterns

  • Emotional regulation and mindfulness techniques

  • Goal-setting, problem-solving, and decision-making skills

  • Confidence in communicating needs and managing stress

How It’s Delivered:
COPE sessions are delivered individually, tailored to each client’s pace and maturity. We incorporate workbooks, discussions, and skills practice in a supportive, stigma-free environment.

Offered both in person in Dallas and virtually across Texas.

When young people understand how their thoughts shape their experience, they gain the power to shape their lives
