ABOUT US
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) was developed by Drs. Klerman and Weissman in the 1960's at Yale University. IPT is a time limited (8-12 session) evidenced based treatment for adults, adolescents and geriatric patients/clients suffering from depression. It has been recommended in American and Canadian Psychiatric and Psychological Treatment Guidelines as a first line gold standard treatment with equal efficacy to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). IPT can be provided individually, for couples, in groups and for families.
IPT has been adapted to treat dysthymia, postpartum depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD and medical illnesses occurring with depression.

OUR SERVICES
ONSITE TRAINING
We bring the two day IPT workshop to your setting and provide mental health clincians the same program that you receive in Toronto. We individualize the teaching to your participants needs based on your client population.
NEW - IPSRT TRAINING - NEW
Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) is an evidence-based therapy, which combines elements of IPT with a focus on regulating daily rhythms, such as sleep-wake times, mealtimes, and social interactions. Techniques of IPSRT also focus on medication adherence, coping skills to reduce impact of stressful life events, and overall promotes a consistent daily routine. The purpose of this training is for participants to develop skills to deliver IPT and explore how its principles integrate with IPSRT.
SUPERVISION
Supervision is available after completing the two day IPT workshop or equivalent at another recognized IPT training program. It can be provided individually or in a small group setting using secure online services.
BOOSTER SESSIONS
Clinicians who have been trained and supervised receive a half day booster session to review IPT cases, enhance skills and receive updated IPT research information.
