THE INTERSECTION OF


SCIENCE & KINDNESS

As a team, we are driven by an optimism about people's capacity to change
and a commitment to the science of change.

WHO WE ARE

The Center for Motivation & Change (CMC) is a group practice of dedicated
clinicians and researchers who rely on science and kindness to help people
change. We employ respectful, flexible, evidence-based approaches to address
substance use and compulsive behavior problems as well as other mental health
issues, including trauma.

Through compassion, collaboration, and the best science has to offer, we help
people make life-enhancing and long-lasting changes. Let us help you find a path
toward change that leaves you feeling better and more motivated, with greater
mastery over your life, and empowered to pursue what matters most to you.

OUR APPROACH



We built CMC at the intersection of science and kindness. From science, we get
evidence-based principles, tools, and strategies proven to help people change;
from kindness we get the glue that holds these ideas and practices together,
making them meaningful and sustainable. As we see it—not just in general but
over and over again with our clients:
science plus kindness equals change.

At the core of all change is the decision to take action. Powerful tools exist
for effecting change, but they are of little help if you have not first made the
difficult decision to use them. At CMC, we will help you identify your own
personal and compelling reasons for change and map out a path you can endorse,
not just endure.

Our positive, holistic approach is designed to support real and lasting change.
Focusing solely on stopping unwanted behaviors is rarely as successful as
developing a fuller and more fulfilling life. Our therapists use motivational
and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help you accomplish your goals. We will
collaborate with you to understand the relationship between your thoughts,
emotions, sensory experiences, values, and behavior. We will help you make
changes that leave you feeling better and more motivated, with greater mastery
over your life, empowered to pursue what matters most to you.

OUR NON-PROFIT



CMC:Foundation for Change is dedicated to providing evidence-based tools for
change to everyone who cares about a person struggling with substance use.
Through training, support groups, and community infrastructure building, we use
the Invitation to Change approach (ITC) to help family, friends, treatment
providers, and community leaders have a positive impact on the terrible toll
taken by substance use. The Invitation to Change is our “science and kindness”
approach, using evidence-based methods that have been shown—in studies with real
families—to be effective at helping people change. ITC groups are an alternative
to support groups like Al-Anon, which are helpful to many families, but are not
evidence-based.

IN THE PRESS




A CONTROVERSIAL NEW WAY TO THINK ABOUT ADDICTION

Wilkens talks about the stigma around substance abuse, potential alternatives to
abstinence, and the role of meditation in recovery.


ELISE LOEHNEN

Carrie Wilkens, PhD is a psychologist who is attempting to change the way we
think about and address recovery and treatment


WORDS MATTER: ADDICTION AND STIGMATIZING LANGUAGE

Carrie Wilkens, Ph.D., Jeffrey Foote, Ph.D., and Ken Carpenter Ph.D. Words
matter. Our society’s beliefs about substance use and compulsive behavior
problems—and the potential for change—are built into the words we use to speak
about these issues.
