How do I know if this is the right treatment?

You don't decide that alone. During the intake and problem analysis, your lead practitioner looks together with you at which form best fits your symptoms, your goals and your context.

Can it also be online or in my own language?

Often, yes. We offer care on location in Eindhoven and Den Bosch, hybrid or via video calling, and tailor treatment to your language and cultural background.

Interpersonal psychotherapy

IPT assumes that symptoms, especially low mood and depression, are connected to what's happening in your relationships and your life: a loss, a conflict, a role change or loneliness.

What it is

IPT assumes that symptoms, especially low mood and depression, are connected to what's happening in your relationships and your life: a loss, a conflict, a role change or loneliness.

Together we map out which theme is most connected to your symptoms and work on it specifically. You learn to recognise, name and discuss your feelings with the people around you.

What you can expect

Strongly proven for depression
Focus on loss, conflict, role change or loneliness
Short-term and clearly defined

Usually 12 to 16 sessions

Our approach

Always applied with an eye for your context

What is helpful differs from one world to another. At AndersGGZ we apply every treatment in a culturally sensitive way, with attention to your language, cultural values and the people around you. We don't impose our interpretation, but explore together what is right for you.
