Motivational Interviewing | Dr. William Miller

In this interview, Dr. Carson McPherson travels to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to speak with Dr. William Miller, a pioneer in the field of Motivational Interviewing (MI). They explore how MI began as a way to help people with addictions and has grown into a broader approach for supporting anyone on a journey of change. You’ll hear stories and examples that showcase the power of deep listening, empathy, and genuine collaboration.

By the end, you’ll have a better sense of how motivational interviewing fosters hope and empowerment—whether you’re a counsellor, a peer support worker, a frontline staff member, or someone simply wanting to show up for others in a more compassionate way.
