Motivational Interviewing Therapy in Hollywood, FL
Motivational interviewing is a type of therapy that focuses on helping people discover their own interest and ability to make positive changes in their lives. Through this therapy, you can express your desire for change, plan for and begin to change, and continually strengthen your commitment to change. It was developed over 30 years ago to help people convince themselves that they should, can, and will change.
How Motivational Interviewing Works
Motivational interviewing empowers people to change in a collaborative, pressure-free environment. It revolves around four principles: express empathy, develop discrepancy, roll with resistance, and support self-efficacy.
Since a therapist knows that you may be hesitant to go to therapy, they’ll take the time to truly understand your point of view. Then, they’ll help you identify what you believe in and what your personal goals are. Instead of challenging or opposing you, the therapist will help you understand yourself and your behaviors in a new light. To do so, they’ll interpret certain situations in different ways.
Most importantly, the therapist will guide you through your behavioral change processes, recognizing your progress and encouraging you every step of the way. Through motivational interviewing, you’ll slowly but surely realize your strengths and ability to make positive changes.

- Mauricio P. 11/19/2023My best experience for SA treatment, by far. Rehab is not a comfortable situation in which to be in the first place, but the staff at compassion treated me with dignity and a caring disposition every day. For PHP there are rules and structure as is expected from a treatment program, but they were not intrusive and there was plenty of activities to cope with the constraints and make it much more bearable. I'm grateful for having been able to attend and complete the program.read moreread lessKristinne N. 11/19/2023Cameron was extremely helpful in all areas of my needs and got things needing to get done in a timely manner.

- Evan L. 11/12/2023I’ve been to treatment several times over the years for substance abuse and mental health. And CBH has by far done more for me than any previous treatment center. At the time I discharged I actually felt confident that I would do well. My therapist Vaneeta was excellent! And the group facilitators were top notch as well. I was set for success with great aftercare planning. I would highly recommend this program for anyone that is struggling with mental health or addiction!read moreread less
- Carlos A. 10/07/2023Hi, my name is Carlos and i was at compassions for about two months in 2021. my time there was something i had never experienced before but in the situation i was in it really helped me overcome it and move forward with my life. the main thing i always remember about compassions is the staff and the work they do. the patience and care that they treated us with showed me that they love what they do and care for us as regular people, we just sometimes go through it. one of my favorite group sessions was music mondays, we’d close out the day with music and what a song meant to us or made us feel. my main therapist krystel was really helpful in my journey, helping me understand my thoughts and my feelings and why they could be happening, without that i would always just feel overwhelmed. another group session we had was with a counselor named karla and she had us discuss certain events in our life’s (not in any specific way) but the overall aspect of it and learn from our reactions and reactions of others and different ways that we could approach it and countless things that helped us understand ourselves as people. overall my time at compassions was really a good time for me even though i wasn’t in the best place in life, so many things i learned and experienced while i was there that now i can share with people that need it and i know i can help them with the things i learned there. it’s been a couple years now and i joined the army and i’m on my way to start school like i envisioned while i was there and i have the proper and healthy tools for healthy coping mechanisms. it’s also been about two years since i finished my treatment and they still call to check up on how i am doing, for a while they stayed in contact with my mom also to see how i was doing and for all of those reasons i’m forever grateful for compassions and every single person that worked there.read moreread less
- Elise E. 9/08/2023Compassion is a great program. After trying 7 programs I found a home away from home at CBH. From the clinical staff to the tech staff you will receive the best care. Sean is a great case manager who will make sure things get done in a timely manager from STD requests to food stamps and more. I stayed at compassions a total of 35 days and cannot say enough good things about this program. You also have the opportunity to attend an outside gym 4 days a week, go to the beach twice a week and attend a life-changing church. THANK YOU COMPASSION team - FOR EVERYTHING.read moreread less
