The Master's program in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) for Practice is an 18-month course designed to meet the growing need for healthcare and social service professionals to deliver proven, evidence-based treatments for various health and social challenges. This program especially appeals to practitioners in mental health nursing, social services, addiction treatment, and nonprofit organizations. CBT is a widely adopted approach for addressing psychological issues, with cognitive and behavioral therapies being among the most rigorously studied interventions for substance abuse, demonstrating exceptional effectiveness in numerous clinical trials.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) originated in addiction treatment during the 1980s and remains a cornerstone approach in this field. Over the past quarter-century, MI has been successfully adapted for healthcare and social work settings, emerging as a powerful method for supporting behavioral transformation in individuals struggling with addictions and those pursuing personal improvement.
