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.

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.

After signing up, I got help with finding the right therapist for me and she was wonderful. Maria was kind and understanding while also being very action based. She took into account my religious beliefs and I couldn’t be happier with the session. I’ve already signed up to meet with her again.

My wife and I were seeking therapy to reconnect and improve our relationship. Although we've only completed the first session of counseling I will say that it was a step in the right direction. Our therapist Sandra took time to get to know each of us and initiated conductive conversation. Looking forward for more. Scheduling has been very easy. I would recommend.

Just never thought I’d need a therapist but Carla is a rare find. While we don’t speak on a regular basis, when we do, for me, it’s like talking with a friend. It’s always a pleasure to talk to her and by the end of the conversation , I’m seeing things differently.
Ginny ★★★★★
Verified Customer
ReachLink has excellent customer service and makes scheduling so easy and convenient! I’ve had such horrible luck with finding the right therapist for me. I felt like the first therapist they linked me with wasn’t a good fit for me, but they listened to my needs and found me another therapist who has been just an absolute God-send. I just wish I would’ve found this help/ReachLink years ago!
