Motivational Interviewing
Feeling stuck making positive changes? Motivational Interviewing (MI) at Central Health can help! Unlike traditional therapy, MI empowers YOU to discover your own reasons for change through collaborative conversations.
Our therapists will guide you to explore your ambivalence, identify your strengths, and develop a personalized plan to reach your goals, whether it’s managing weight, overcoming addiction, or simply building better relationships. Don’t go it alone, contact us today to see how MI can be the key to unlocking your full potential!
What is a Motivational Interviewing?
- MI is a form of counseling where you and the therapist work together as a team. Through open-ended questions and reflections, your therapist acts as a guide, helping you explore your desires and motivations for change. You'll be encouraged to articulate your own goals and the reasons behind them.
- Forget one-size-fits-all advice! MI focuses on building your confidence and commitment to reach your unique goals. This approach recognizes that lasting change comes from within, and your therapist will support you in discovering your inner strengths and resources.
What to Expect
Client-Centered Focus:
This is your journey. Our MI therapist will listen attentively and guide you to discover your own reasons for change. They'll use open-ended questions and reflections to help you articulate your goals and desires.
Exploring Ambivalence:
It's natural to have mixed feelings about change. Maybe you want to improve your eating habits, but enjoy the comfort food brings. MI helps you navigate these feelings and identify the benefits that outweigh the challenges. Your therapist will explore the "pros and cons" with you in a supportive and non-judgmental way.
Building Confidence:
We all have strengths and resources within us. MI helps you identify yours to feel empowered to achieve your goals. Your therapist might ask questions about past successes you've had to build your self-belief in tackling new challenges.
Developing a Personalized Plan:
MI is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We'll tailor a plan that supports your unique needs and goals. Whether you want to manage stress, improve communication skills, or overcome addiction, MI can be adapted to address your specific situation.
