Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered approach that encourages clients to explore their ambivalence about change, helping them find motivation for personal growth.

MI fosters self-motivation and empowers clients to make meaningful changes by tapping into their personal values and goals. It’s a supportive approach for individuals who feel on the fence about making changes.

Who Might Benefit

MI is ideal for individuals struggling with finding the motivation to make meaningful or important changes in life that could benefit their health or wellbeing, especially when they feel uncertain or conflicted about the change. These might include things like reducing or stopping substance use, making lifestyle changes, or adhering to treatment recommendations.
