Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a form of therapy that elicits motivation from clients to help them resolve ambivalence and prepare them to make necessary lifestyle changes.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on you and your relationships with other people. It's based on the idea that personal relationships are at the center of psychological problems.
