Building Internal Motivation for Change
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered approach that helps you explore and resolve ambivalence about change, strengthening your own motivation for recovery.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based counseling approach that helps people find their own internal motivation for change. Rather than telling you what to do, MI therapists use open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations to help you explore your own reasons for recovery.
This approach recognizes that ambivalence about change is normal. Many people struggling with addiction have mixed feelings—part of them wants to change, while another part is resistant. MI helps resolve this ambivalence by strengthening your own commitment to recovery.
At Amity Palm Beach in West Palm Beach, Florida, our therapists integrate MI throughout our treatment programs, meeting you where you are and supporting your journey toward lasting change.
Motivational Interviewing follows core principles that guide the therapeutic conversation toward change.
Your therapist creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel understood and accepted.

Rather than confronting resistance, therapists work with it, respecting your autonomy and perspective.
