Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach designed to help people resolve ambivalence about change and strengthen their motivation. It involves a collaborative conversation where the counselor listens actively and empathetically, guiding individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings about their behaviors. By focusing on personal values and goals, MI encourages individuals to articulate their reasons for change, increasing their confidence in making positive choices. This respectful and non-judgmental approach fosters a supportive environment that empowers people to take charge of their own decisions and progress.
