What Is It?
Are your mental health struggles hurting your relationships? Are your relationships hurting your mental health? It’s only natural. Our problems don’t exist in isolation, even if we feel isolated. If you’re suffering from depression, anxiety, or another mood disorder, you likely feel it affect your work, home, and social lives, while holding you back from your potential. Don’t worry: you can restore your ties. Enter Interpersonal Therapy. Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is an evidence-based technique that helps you improve
how you interact with others by working through the emotional roadblocks that come between you. At Looking Glass Psychology, we utilize IPT and other science-supported therapies in order to help people develop real-world strategies and set actionable goals so that they can overcome their problems and connect with their best selves. If you’d like to learn how IPT can help you live your best life, feel free to book a free phone consultation with us today.
Interpersonal Therapy & You
Your mental and social health are intertwined, influencing each other through certain circumstances—including life changes, relationship problems, loss, and unfulfillment. IPT aims to build a healthy bridge between the two by treating your mood disorders through an interpersonal lens.
You may benefit from IPT if you are going through, or have gone through:
- The Loss of a Loved One
- Social Isolation
- Relationship Changes, Like Marriage, Divorce, or a Breakup
- Career Changes
- Adjustment to a New City
- A Recent Diagnosis, Like a Disease
- Regret
- Periodic Personal Conflict
- Mood Disorders
We’re here to help. Between our sympathetic care and active approach, we can help you transform your social health while taking the steps towards your self-fulfillment. Interested? Book your free consultation today.
How Does Interpersonal Therapy Work?
IPT practitioners understand the role our social lives play in the onset and persistence of mental health problems. That’s why IPT focuses on meeting our emotional needs by exercising practical interpersonal communication skills and healthy coping strategies.
Your IPT sessions may include:
- Education and Awareness About Your Mental Health Concerns
- Simple Relaxation Techniques, Healthy Activities, and Meditation
- Role-Playing
- Communication Analysis & Techniques
- Decision Analysis & Option-Setting
- Coping Mechanisms
- Goal Setting and Planning
If you need help, we encourage you to reach out to us as soon as you can. We’re available to tailor a plan for you, whether you feel more comfortable online or in-person.
Can Interpersonal Therapy Help?
IPT can really help you!
In a connected and fluctuating world, IPT is a chance to sit with your thoughts, explore your opportunities, and learn to live well. And with the experienced support of an outside voice, you gain an ally to help you unlock what you think, understand how you feel, and practice healthier social patterns.
Therapy is a relaxed, judgement-free space to develop practical tools to better handle your struggles—on your timeline. You’re able to deconstruct your life, learn more about yourself through science-supported modalities, and confidently advance forward from a sturdier foundation.
In therapy, you are welcome to explore who you are and grow in a relaxed, approachable environment—regardless of how you feel, where you came from, or what you believe.
At Looking Glass, we tailor our therapy to you, listening to you with open ears, then drawing from our extensive experience in evidence-based techniques to create your unique plan.
In addition to IPT, our therapies include:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
- Stress Management
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy
- Exposure Therapies
- Trauma-Informed Therapies
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
We collaborate with you to set measurable goals and achieve tangible results. You lead the path. We help you see what you’ve missed along the way—and the opportunities in front of you.
