As an expert in helping people to be able to facilitate change in their life, I extensively utilize aspects of motivational interviewing in order to empower individuals to take responsibility for making a change in their life, and helping them to understand the part of themselves that is struggling to commit to making the change.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, client-centered approach that empowers you to make meaningful changes in your life. MI helps you tap into your own motivations and strengths to overcome challenges. In our sessions, we’ll work together to explore your goals and any ambivalence you might feel about change. You’ll discover your internal drive and build confidence to make decisions that align with your values and desires. Get started today by scheduling an appointment with me.

Much of my experience has been with individuals who are stuck in a pattern of repeated crisis. I use motivational interviewing often to cultivate introspection and identify changes that may need to occur.

I am certified in Motivational Interviewing (MI), an evidence-based technique designed to help clients change self-defeating habits in their lives and strengthen their personal motivation to reach specific goals. While it sounds like a series of questions, it is actually a method of listening that elicits the deeper reasons that we resist change and stay stuck in destructive patterns. MI has proven results in helping clients realize their potential and experience transformational change.

I spent over a year in training and consultation honing motivational interviewing skills. This style of therapy is a way of helping you listen to yourself, clarify your own values and wants, and increase your own internal motivation to make changes to improve your mental wellness.

MI is a counseling approach designed to help people explore and resolve ambivalence about behavior change. It's particularly effective in addressing addictive behaviors, but it's also used to address a variety of "stuck" and/or problematic ongoing behaviors. In MI, we focus on exploring your values, goals, and concerns.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative approach where we work together to explore your motivations for change. It is normal to feel ambivalent and uncertain about making a change in your life, even if you think it will ultimately benefit you. Together, we can develop an action plan for change that works for you and builds on your existing strengths.

Julio Iñiguez (he/him)

Motivational Interviewing is a modality that allows you to be right where you are in the process of change. It honors that while you may aspire to change something, you may not be ready to take concrete actions toward change and that is perfectly fine. MI supports the conversation in resolving ambivalence by getting clear about the costs and benefits of change. It is a non-violent approach that makes a lot of room for what is and for finding those opportunities when change is most possible.

Kimberly Crow (she/her/hers)

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation with a focus on evoking change. It respects an individual's personal autonomy while clarifying barriers to success. It is a way of working through the discomfort of ambivalence, a frenemy of the change process.

Christine Finucane (She/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, SUDP, LICSW, SEP

I believe in meeting people where they are in the process of change. Sometimes we can feel "stuck" in the change process and are not sure how to move forward. Motivation Interviewing offers support to the change process itself identifying areas we may feel stuck, barriers to change and examining all areas of the change process including resistance to change and fear about change. This focus can then allow people to move forward if that is what they truly want to do.

Suzanne Sanchez (she/her)

Motivation is always changing in that some days we might feel very motivated to change and others we feel little motivation. Through use of motivational interviewing, I am able to work with you where you are at and help you find what it is that motivates you to want to make change in your life.

Motivational interviewing is a great technique for helping with individuals and families who are struggling to make a change in their lives for the better. Finding where you are in the Stages of Change can help you identify where you want to be and how to get to a place where you can make long lasting and impactful beneficial changes in your life.
