Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a short-term, evidence-based treatment that focuses on the connection between relationships and mental health. Originally developed to treat depression, IPT is now widely used to address a variety of conditions, including anxiety, grief, and life transition challenges.

The central idea behind IPT is that our emotional well-being is deeply tied to the quality of our relationships and our ability to navigate changes in life roles. When those connections are strained or transitions feel overwhelming, symptoms such as sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness can intensify.

In IPT, you and your therapist work together to identify key interpersonal issues contributing to distress, such as unresolved grief, role disputes, role transitions, or difficulties building supportive relationships. Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, focusing on communication patterns, conflict resolution, and strengthening social support.

By improving relational skills and addressing interpersonal stressors, IPT can reduce symptoms of depression. Its structured, time-limited nature makes IPT especially effective for clients seeking focused change and measurable outcomes. We use IPT Therapy with clients in the Lake Norman and Charlotte, NC areas to provide lasting tools for building resilience and healthier relationships.
