There are times in life where people feel stuck. There are many reasons for these situations. For adolescents, it can be mainly attempting to establish identity or a voice and the resulting anxiety from trying to navigate their world. For older teens, some are left with the confusion and fear of how to transition to adulthood and the question of failing. For adults, of course, we are supposed to have it all figured out. The truth is people may not be living true to their values or believe the mistakes made are too great to overcome. Maybe there was an anxiety or trauma so great it governs the choices made; Even from caregivers.

Welcome! I'm Jennifer Caballero, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in grief and loss. We are all impacted by grief during our lifetime and yet grief is something that we rarely talk about as a society. Grief is a normal response to any loss. It has no timeline, easy fix, or specific set of instructions for healing. I believe grief is not pathological, or a problem that needs to be "fixed" or "gotten over." Grief is a journey that is unique to everyone. My approach is to help you identify how grief shows up and impacts your life while providing coping skills that allow you to incorporate grief into your ongoing story.

My work, as well as my personal life, is grounded in mindfulness.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
