IFIOC's teaches Motivational Interviewing to fidelity ensuring you are benefiting from the improved measurable outcomes of an Evidence-Based Practice

*Skills you can use right away

We train Motivational Interviewing by starting with your current communication style and build upon your skills to help you utilize these new concepts immediately.

*Differentiating between Compliance and Behavior Change

We distinguish between traditional compliance approaches (which do not produce sustained change) and how to engage in long term behavior change

*Crosswalk MI with Trauma Informed Approaches

We bridge the brain science of trauma with the impact of language on the brain and how that can be a restorative/reparative process

I have worked as an outpatient therapist with substance use disorder adolescents and their families, and as a SUD/MH treatment provider for adult inmates in both state and federal prisons. From 1997 through 2011, I worked for the Washington Institute for Mental Health Research and Training through Washington State University, as the Director of Training and Technical Assistance, as well as a primary consultant to the Washington State Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery headquarters.
