Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Empowering Change Through Compassionate Guidance
What is Motivational Interviewing?
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a goal-oriented, therapeutic approach that helps individuals explore and resolve any uncertainty they may have about making changes in their lives. It is especially effective for those struggling with substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and behavioral changes.
Unlike traditional directive counseling, MI focuses on empowering individuals to recognize their own strengths and take ownership of their recovery. By fostering a supportive and non-judgmental environment, our trained therapists help clients build confidence and commitment to change at their own pace.
