Motivational Interviewing (MI): Empowering Change

Motivational Interviewing was developed by William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick. Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered counseling approach that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about behavior change. It's particularly effective in addressing substance use disorders by enhancing intrinsic motivation.​

Key principles of MI include:

• Expressing Empathy: Understanding your perspective without judgment.​

• Developing Discrepancy: Highlighting the differences between current behaviors and broader goals.​

• Rolling with Resistance: Accepting reluctance as a natural part of the change process.​

• Supporting Self-Efficacy: Encouraging belief in your ability to change.​

Research indicates that MI can lead to significant improvements in substance use outcomes, making it a valuable component of our treatment approach. ​
