Motivational Interviewing
Empowering Change Through Compassionate Guidance
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, evidence-based counseling approach that helps individuals explore their goals, values, and motivations for change. At Therapeutic Recovery Network, we use MI to empower clients to overcome ambivalence and take meaningful steps toward personal growth and well-being.
What is Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative process that focuses on:
• Strengthening your internal motivation for positive change
• Building confidence in your ability to make those changes
• Respecting your autonomy while guiding you toward solutions
MI is rooted in empathy, active listening, and non-judgmental support, making it an effective approach for clients who feel uncertain or stuck in their journey.
Who can benefit from MI
Motivational Interviewing is effective in helping individuals navigate a variety of challenges, including:
• Substance Use and Addiction Recovery
• Lifestyle Changes (e.g., diet, exercise, smoking cessation)
• Managing Chronic Health Conditions
• Addressing Anxiety, Depression, or Stress
• Enhancing Motivation for Therapy or Treatment Adherence
How MI works
The foundation of MI lies in creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and empowered. Our therapists use techniques such as:
• Open-Ended Questions: Encouraging exploration of your thoughts and feelings.
• Affirmations: Highlighting your strengths and progress.
• Reflective Listening: Understanding your perspective and helping you clarify your goals.
• Summarizing: Organizing your thoughts to create a clear path forward.
