Improve Your Mental Health with Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach designed to help you explore and resolve ambivalence about change. Instead of pushing or pressuring, MI helps you tap into your own motivation, strengths, and values to make meaningful progress.

Motivational Interviewing is a compassionate and supportive therapy that empowers you to take control of your choices and create lasting change—at your own pace.

What Types of Problems Can MI Help With?

Motivational Interviewing can help you:

  • Build motivation for change

  • Increase healthy behaviors (i.e. sleep, exercise, or eating habits)

  • Navigate personal and professional goals

  • Overcome unhelpful substance use or addictions concerns

  • Manage anxiety or depression

  • Improve procrastination and avoidance

  • Make better decisions

MI provides a supportive space to explore what matters most to you and how you can move forward.

The Core Components of MI

  1. Exploring Ambivalence: Change is hard, and it’s normal to feel stuck. MI helps you explore both sides of a decision without pressure.

  2. Building Confidence: Therapy helps you recognize your strengths and develop belief in your ability to change.

  3. Clarifying Values: MI encourages you to connect with what truly matters to you, making change more meaningful.

  4. Strengthening Motivation: Through guided conversation, MI helps uncover your own reasons for change.

  5. Creating an Action Plan: MI supports you in setting realistic, achievable steps toward your goals.

MI is a supportive, non-judgmental approach that helps you take charge of your life—on your terms.
