Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT)
The professional home of Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative counseling style that treats ambivalence as normal and helps you find your own reasons for change.
Overview
MI assumes mixed feelings are a normal part of change, not resistance to overcome. Rather than pushing you toward a conclusion, a practitioner helps you explore your own reasons for change and your own doubts. MINT is the international network behind MI training and practice.
How the approach works
Use the site to understand the approach and to find trainers and resources. In practice, MI is offered by many counselors and coaches, often alongside CBT.
Who might find it useful
The skeptic who bristles at being told what to do. For many people, an MI conversation is the first time recovery feels respectful rather than coercive.
What to expect
An authoritative resource on MI. To work with someone, look for a counselor trained in motivational interviewing.
