Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on improving relationships and communication skills. It recognizes that personal relationships can significantly affect mental health. In IPT, a trained therapist helps individuals identify and address issues in their relationships, such as grief, conflict, or role changes. The goal is to enhance social support and improve emotional well-being. By exploring interpersonal dynamics, patients can gain insight, learn coping strategies, and develop healthier relationships, leading to better overall mental health. Typically, IPT is short-term and goal-oriented, often lasting around 12-16 sessions.
