Motivational enhancing therapy (MET) is a therapeutic intervention that focuses on reducing the level of ambivalence that a client has and assisting him or her to make necessary changes. At Orlando Solutions, we offer this evidence-based approach to help people through their challenges and learn how to begin the process of healing and rebuilding their lives. If you have issues with substance use or mental health issues, MET will assist you in setting your goals as well as ensuring that you are well prepared to meet those goals.
What is Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)?
Motivational Enhancement Therapy is a counseling approach to increase the motivation for change in the identified client. MET is not like other therapy techniques that aim at changing the client’s behavior, instead, it seeks to enhance and boost motivation internally. MET helps people to understand their aspirations, direction, and motivation toward change and opens the door to change in a significant way.
In its simplest form, MET is a time-limited, formalized intervention informed by motivational interviewing. The therapy is usually conducted for 4-6 sessions in which the therapist works to eliminate the clients’ ambivalence and set goals for change. MET is especially useful for people who are reluctant to change and avoid conventional therapeutic approaches or have doubts about the process of change.
