Motivational Interviewing (MI) & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Integration 


March 19, 26, & April 2, 2024 | 9:00AM – 12:00 PM PT


Clinical Practice Virtual Workshop


Join Kristin Dempsey, EdD, LMFT, LPCC full-time faculty member at the Wright Institute and practicing psychotherapist in the Bay Area specializing in complex trauma, MI, addiction counseling, suicide prevention, and much more. In addition to clinical work, Dr. Dempsey trained community mental health providers in various evidenced-based and promising practices and provides ongoing coaching and consultation in behavioral health system redesign and implementation of evidence-based practices. Dr Dempsey is the author of upcoming book, The Harm Reduction Workbook for Addiction an evidence-based This evidence-based workbook reevaluates our relationship with addictive substances, and offers a powerful alternative to “abstinence-only” approaches. 


MI and DBT both evidence-based practices are with well-researched and have impressive outcomes for treating complex developmental and behavioral disorders: substance use disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and trauma-related issues, to name a few. Given the commonality between the two approaches as well as their distinctive strengths, MI and DBT have the potential to increase positive clinical outcomes when we can harness the power of both approaches. In the workshop, we will explore when to apply each approach and we will look at times when it might be helpful to add some dialectical thinking to the motivational engagement, and some strategically applied skills to standard DBT interventions.  Join us to help build your skills in both approaches and consider how you can flexibly and effectively combine both approaches in your daily clinical work.


The participants will learn to: 

  1.         Distinguish which approach -- motivational interviewing or DBT -- to use at each stage of change for each client concern when treating clients with complex developmental and behavioral disorders.
  2.         Identify the dialectical components of motivational interviewing and determine when and how to use “double-sided” responses to further build dialectical awareness and momentum among clients in early stages of change.
  3.          Apply the four motivational microskills when facilitating a DBT skills individual and group training session for clients enrolled in DBT treatment.
  4.  .      Determine when to offer DBT skills when engaging clients in conversations about change early in treatment.
