Therapy Modalities
Motivational Interviewing (MI) in Boulder, CO
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, non-confrontational approach that helps you work through ambivalence and uncover your own reasons for change.
When MI Is Especially Helpful
- Feeling stuck between “I want to change” and “I don't”
- Substance use, alcohol use, and addictive patterns
- Health behaviors — sleep, exercise, eating, medication adherence
- Career and relationship decisions
- Anger and reactivity patterns
- Therapy that feels stuck or stagnant
How MI Works
MI is grounded in respect, empathy, and the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Through open questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summaries, we explore your goals, values, and the ambivalence holding you back. Change comes from inside, not from being lectured.
