Overview: Motivational Interviewing in Lake Park

Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic technique that was first introduced to treat drug addiction disorders. It has been widely applied in the field of addiction treatment and mental health to aid individuals in:

  • Resolve ambivalence about change
  • Improve motivation to recover
  • Strengthen commitment to goals on a personal level
  • Build confidence in making healthier choices


Our Lake Park Motivational Interviewing services are particularly helpful for those who:

  • Feel uncertain or opposed to treatment
  • Lack motivation or follow-through

  • Continually experience recurrence or avoidance

  • Adults with substance use disorders

  • Individuals experiencing motivation problems

Why Motivational Interviewing Works for Addiction Recovery

Addiction tends to thrive on ambivalence, fear of change, and a lack of confidence about one’s capability to recover from the addiction. Motivational interviewing specifically counters those difficulties by engaging individuals towards self-inquiry about the reasons for self-change rather than being told to make specific changes. Motivational Interviewing assists individuals:

  • Increase readiness for change
  • Enhance internal motivation for sobriety
  • Reduce resistance to treatment
  • Building confidence in decision-making in recovery
  • Long-term engagement in care

The Core Principles of Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing is based upon a respectful and collaborative working alliance between the client and the therapist, where, rather than confrontation, the power of empathy and empowerment is employed.


Essential MI Principles:

  • Expressing empathy by Reflective Listening
  • Developing Discrepancies between Current Behaviors and Personal Goals
  • Understanding why rolling with the resistance
  • Promoting self-efficacy and personal choices


The Four Core Processes of Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing focuses on the following four basic therapeutic processes that help individuals change their lives in a positive manner:

  • Engaging
    Fostering a trust based relationship which can be respectful and non-judgmental in nature.
  • Focusing
    Together with the individual, identifying the specific change domains of most importance to the individual, such as substance use, mental health, or goals in life.
  • Evoking
    Assisting clients to explore and discover their motivations, values, and change goals, eliciting “change talk” which is conducive to improvement.
  • Planning
    Turning the motivation into specific actions, measurable goals, and personal goals.
