Motivational Interviewing
There is no set timeline for this evidence based treatment, which includes a full psychological assessment and recommendations, as well as follow up sessions. This form of therapy is designed to enhance motivation and provide support as individuals navigate difficult and complex situations. If you need help staying motivated to tend to your health, this approach may be for you.
Martina's Story
"I have cooked for my family for years, the traditional Mexican way. When my doctor told me I had diabetes, I didn't understand at first that this time, my sickness wouldn't go away. There would be good days and bad days, and there were medicines to help manage it, but I was stuck. I had to cook differently.
I think Motivational Interviewing helped me see that I had some good reasons to learn new things. One of those reasons is my husband, Ernesto. I have to be around to bug him. Together, we made some little changes. For a while, our goal was to explore healthy food from other cultures. It turns out we both like sushi. Who knew? Now, I know how to make that, too."
