Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

What is Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) ?
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on improving communication and resolving relationship issues that may be contributing to emotional distress. Originally developed to treat depression, IPT is effective for a range of conditions, including anxiety, grief, and mood disorders.
IPT helps you explore how your relationships impact your mental health. By identifying unhealthy patterns, managing conflicts, and strengthening your support system, this therapy aims to enhance your interpersonal functioning and improve overall emotional well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) Therapy
How does IPT work in therapy?
IPT focuses on four main areas: grief and loss, role transitions (major life changes), interpersonal conflicts, and social isolation. With your therapist, you’ll work to identify challenges within these areas, develop healthier communication strategies, and build supportive relationships that promote emotional stability.
What conditions can IPT help with?
IPT is commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, grief, postpartum depression, and mood disorders. It’s also helpful for individuals facing significant life transitions or struggling to maintain healthy, supportive relationships.
How is IPT different from other therapies like CBT?
