Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is one of the the most effective psychotherapy approaches for treating addiction. Thousands of research studies show that it can facilitate positive behavioral change of all kinds.
MI helps you achieve any number of goals — from developing healthier dating habits, achieving more work-life balance, or getting an exercise routine underway.
Whether you're trying to shift long-standing patterns in relationships, find more work-life balance, or establish sustainable routines like exercise, sleep, or nutrition, MI provides a collaborative and compassionate framework for change.
How MI Works
Motivational Interviewing is not about pressuring you to change—it's about helping you explore why you might want to. Your therapist will support you in identifying what matters to you, clarifying your values and long-term goals, and working through any ambivalence you feel.
Rather than giving advice or assigning a one-size-fits-all plan, MI helps you strengthen your internal motivation and build confidence in your ability to change. This process is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to you. Together, you and your therapist will co-create a plan that’s both meaningful and realistic—something that actually works in your life.
