The Art of Motivational Interviewing with Teens pt. 1

To steal an analogy from Chris Rice, each teen is like “Smelling the Color Nine. Nine’s not a color and even if it were, you can’t smell a color. My point exactly.” There is an art to therapy with teens as they often struggle with counseling because of stigma around mental health, fear of judgment, difficulty expressing emotions, lack of understanding about the process, resistance to authority, concerns about privacy, and the developmental stage of trying to establish their own identity. Utilizing ACT for Adolescents (DNA-V) and the BOLD Process this workshop will overview some of the reasons teens need therapy and provide practical techniques from Motivational Interviewing (MI) to partner through the resistance. MI is a non-judgmental and supportive approach that empowers struggling teenagers to take control of their lives and make positive changes.
