Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered approach that helps individuals resolve ambivalence and boost motivation for positive change. Whether facing addiction, unhealthy habits, or life transitions, MI helps you explore your values and make decisions aligned with your long-term goals. Through compassionate conversations, MI strengthens your internal drive for lasting behavioral change.

What To Expect

A Safe and Confidential Space: Motivational Interviewing sessions provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can openly discuss your struggles, desires, and ambivalence. Your privacy and confidentiality are key to fostering trust and effective communication.
‍
Personalized Treatment Plans: Every individual’s journey is unique, and so are your goals. We tailor the MI process to your personal needs, understanding where you’re coming from and what positive changes you want to make in your life.

Evidence-Based Techniques: Motivational Interviewing is a research-backed approach proven to be effective in helping people overcome addiction, anxiety, and other life challenges. Through open-ended questions, reflective listening, and exploring the pros and cons of change, we guide you toward a deeper understanding of your motivations.

‍Collaborative Process: Therapy is a partnership, and Motivational Interviewing is a highly collaborative approach. You are in control of the pace and direction of the conversation, while your therapist provides guidance and support, helping you identify and strengthen your commitment to change.
‍
Continuous Support and Growth: Our goal is to empower you with the tools and confidence needed to take action beyond therapy. We focus on helping you build self-motivation and create lasting changes that align with your values and goals.

Flexible and Convenient Scheduling: To fit Motivational Interviewing sessions into your busy life, we offer flexible scheduling options, including in-person and virtual appointments. We’re here to make therapy accessible and convenient, ensuring it fits your needs.
