Motivational Interviewing
What is Motivational Interviewing?
“an evidence-based method for promoting change and growth. For a definition: MI is a particular way of talking with people about change and growth to strengthen their own motivation and commitment.” (Miller & Rollnick, 2024, p.3)
Trainer
I am a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). This is an organization that promotes good practice in the use, research and training of motivational interviewing, and supports the continuing learning and skillfulness of its members through meetings, open sharing of resources, communication, publications, and shared practice opportunities. Membership is earned through an extensive application process, and completion of Train the New Trainer (TNT) training through a MINT event.I have lead trainings in states across the United States and virtually at various schools, counseling organizations, and conferences.As of July, 2024, I am currently the only high school counselor in Illinois that has obtained membership.
