Interpersonal Psychotherapy IPT, is the best kept secret in mental health. IPT is an evidence-based, short term (8-12 week) model of therapy, developed by Drs. Klerman and Weissman in the 1960’s, to treat depression.  Subsequently, IPT has been adapted to treat postpartum depression, eating disorders, dysthymia, and PTSD - without exposure. IPT can be provided for adolescents, adults, and older adults, individually, for families, couples and groups.

IPT is recommended in psychological and psychiatric treatment guidelines as a first-line treatment with equal efficacy to CBT.

Dr. Ronald Frey and Cindy Goodman Stulberg, Psychologists and Directors of the Institute for Interpersonal Psychotherapy provides training, supervision and certification for a wide range of mental health clinicians wanting to learn IPT. We have trained in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.
