Understanding Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered therapeutic approach designed to help individuals explore and resolve ambivalence toward change. Rather than confronting resistance, MI encourages open dialogue and self-reflection—helping clients identify their motivations for recovery and build confidence in their ability to make lasting, positive decisions. At Uplift Recovery, this method forms a cornerstone of our supportive, empowerment-based care.

Our Approach to Motivational Interviewing

At Uplift Recovery, our clinicians use MI to strengthen each client’s internal motivation for recovery. Through empathy, active listening, and collaborative goal-setting, we help clients reconnect with their values and develop actionable plans for change.

Key elements of our approach:

Collaborative Communication

We build trust through nonjudgmental dialogue, allowing clients to explore their goals in a safe space.

Empowerment and Self-Awareness

Clients are guided to identify their own reasons for change—promoting autonomy and personal responsibility.

Goal-Oriented Strategies

Together, we set achievable milestones that support long-term recovery and emotional growth.

Integration with Other Therapies

MI complements Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, and trauma-informed care to create a balanced, holistic treatment plan.
