Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals resolve ambivalence and build motivation for positive change.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, goal-oriented approach that helps individuals clarify and articulate their goals while fostering a sense of ownership over the change process. It emphasizes a collaborative, non-hierarchical partnership between practitioner and client, using open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations to elicit “change talk” and strengthen commitment to action. By creating a non-judgmental and empathetic environment, MI reduces resistance and builds trust, empowering clients to recognize their autonomy and capacity for change. While resolving ambivalence is central to MI, it also focuses on developing actionable steps to achieve meaningful and sustainable outcomes.

MI is widely effective across diverse contexts, including:
