Motivational Interviewing Academy

By Dr. Monica Gilbert

Hi! I'm Monica Gilbert

I am a BCBA-D (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Florida.

My aim in providing you with these trainings is to bridge the gap between behavior analytical and clinical mental health tools. I firmly believe after more than 13 years practicing in both fields that their are tools from both of each disciplines that can help any clinician become a more successful change agent in their clients (and client families) lives.

My goal is to disseminate the effective strategies in Motivational Interviewing to help clinicians work more effectively with parents, caregivers, teachers, and even the supervisees that work under them. I didn’t think it was fair for me to keep this to myself when I knew how effective and how life-changing it can be in our field.
