Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a type of counseling that aims to help people find the motivation to alter their behavior for the better. This treatment assists people in overcoming issues that prevent them from making healthier life decisions. This method is effective for those who are battling addiction and physical health issues.

MI, like most treatments, empowers people by encouraging them to discover their own potential to change. MI therapists help in the change process by providing directions to their clients in the hopes that they would respond with motivation and the desire to change. Individuals benefit from it, and it can be done in person or online. MI is frequently the first type of therapy that clients try before moving on to other types as they dig deeper into other aspects of their lives.
