My treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

I will utilize motivational interviewing as a counseling method to help my patients resolve their ambivalent feelings and insecurities, enabling them to find the internal motivation necessary to change their behavior. It is a practical, empathetic, and short-term process that takes into consideration the difficulty of making life changes.
