I dont find what you said empowering at all. Nor disempowering. Rather i find it to be a gross distortion of reality. If someone has made numerous attempts at therapy, and has come away feeling consistently harmed or just not helped, the empowering thing to say would be -- you deserve better, consider the myriad other ways there are to heal, not least your own internal resources. The message that is pounded incessantly is that therapy is some sort of prerequisite to overcoming life's problems.
