Advanced Motivational Interviewing.

A deeper dive for clinicians who already have a foundation in Motivational Interviewing and want to sharpen and extend their skills. Building on the spirit and the four core processes, this training goes further into the harder, real-world moments of guiding change.

It’s designed for therapists, social workers, health providers, and others who have completed a foundational MI training or already use MI in their work. Dates, format, and price are being finalized — join the interest list and I’ll be in touch with the details.

Who it’s for

Built on a foundation you already have.

This is not an introduction. It’s for clinicians who have taken a foundational MI training or already use MI day to day, and who want to move from knowing the method to practicing it with more range — in the ambivalent, stuck, and complex conversations where MI is hardest and matters most. If you’re newer to MI, the Foundations training is the place to start.

Where

In person in Berkeley.

Like the Foundations training, this runs in a dedicated space in my office building on Bancroft Way, a short walk from downtown Berkeley and BART. Full directions come with your confirmation once dates are set.
