Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
Interpersonal Psychotherapy at Mind Body Well
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is an evidence-based approach used by Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well to support people experiencing depression, anxiety, eating concerns, and other mental health and relationship issues. IPT focuses on improving relationships, communication and social support to enhance psychological well-being.
IPT can assist people to understand how their relationships impact their emotions, and provides strategies to improve interpersonal connections. IPT is particularly effective for those experiencing difficulties related to life transitions, conflict or social isolation.
If you’re looking for a therapy that focuses on the role of relationships in your well-being, our Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well can guide you. Therapeutic approaches are determined in consultation between the Psychologist and client, after a thorough assessment has been conducted.
