Meet Carrie Bader

I work with professionals across healthcare, education, and social services to strengthen their use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) in real-world settings. My trainings are practical, skills-based, and grounded in the day-to-day challenges helpers face when conversations matter most.

I am a health educator and occupational therapist, a MINT-certified trainer, and an active member of the international Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). I regularly present—both in person and virtually—for conferences, healthcare systems, and nonprofit organizations, supporting front-line staff, clinicians, administrators, and organizational leaders.

  • Behavioral Health

  • Youth and Family Support

  • Forensic Settings

  • Vaccine Hesitancy

  • Physical Rehabilitation
