Motivational Interviewing (MI)
What is Motivational Interviewing (MI)?
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented therapy designed to strengthen a person’s motivation and commitment to change. It helps individuals resolve ambivalence — the “part of me wants to change, part of me doesn’t” feeling — in a supportive, non-judgmental way.
​
At Reclaim Psychotherapy, our therapists offer online MI sessions across Ontario, helping clients uncover personal motivation, clarify goals, and build confidence in their ability to make meaningful life changes.
What Can MI Help With?​
Motivational Interviewing is effective for individuals who want to make behavioural, emotional, or lifestyle changes, such as:
​
-
Reducing or quitting substance use
-
Managing anxiety or depression
-
Building healthier coping habits
-
Improving self-care or work–life balance
-
Enhancing motivation for therapy or personal growth
-
Strengthening decision-making and confidence
MI is especially useful when you feel stuck, ambivalent, or unsure about next steps in life or therapy.
​
What Might a Typical MI Session Look Like?
In a typical MI session at Reclaim Psychotherapy, your therapist will:
​
-
Explore your values, goals, and reasons for change
-
Use reflective listening to clarify what’s most important to you
-
Help you identify barriers and strengths
-
Collaboratively develop small, achievable goals
-
Support your autonomy — you’re always in control of decisions
Sessions focus on empowerment and self-discovery, helping clients align their choices with their values.
​
Why Choose Reclaim Psychotherapy for MI?​
