If you are considering counseling because you want to make changes in your life, you aren’t alone. Many people enter counseling because they are facing difficult decisions.

When life circumstances are pointing us toward possible changes, we can start to feel overwhelmed. How will we know what decision to make? Are we able to handle the changes? Change is hard!

Motivational Interviewing is an approach used in counseling to assist people with making changes. First used for changing substance use behaviors, motivational interviewing now has broad applications that can help people clarify direction and move them forward toward growth.

Perhaps you’ve been on the fence about making a big life change. Maybe people in your life have been encouraging you to do something differently, and you aren’t sure that you’re ready. Our therapists can help you sort out these issues using motivational interviewing.
