Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Empowering Change Through Client-Centered Therapy
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based counseling approach designed to enhance motivation and commitment to change. At Uplift NoHo, we use MI techniques to help individuals overcome ambivalence, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward recovery and personal growth.

Understanding Motivational Interviewing (MI)

MI is a collaborative, client-centered therapy that helps individuals explore their own motivations for change. It is particularly effective for treating substance use disorders, behavioral health issues, and mental health challenges.

Key Benefits of Motivational Interviewing:

  • Encourages self-awareness and internal motivation for change.

  • Reduces resistance and builds confidence in decision-making.

  • Strengthens commitment to personal goals and recovery.

  • Enhances problem-solving and self-efficacy.

MI empowers individuals by guiding them toward self-directed change rather than imposing external pressure.

What to Expect in MI Therapy

At Uplift NoHo, our Motivational Interviewing program includes:

  • Collaborative goal-setting to help individuals define their personal path to change.

  • Guided conversations that explore motivations, strengths, and challenges.

  • Non-judgmental support to foster confidence and self-empowerment.

Our goal is to help individuals build intrinsic motivation and make lasting, positive changes in their lives.
