Inclusion Criteria:  Participants will include 13-22 year-old patients with sickle cell disease as well as primary caregivers of 0-22 year-old sickle cell disease patients ("parents"). The lower age limit for patients' participation in their own intervention sessions was selected based on previous studies documenting MI effectiveness with adolescents as young as 13 years of age. The upper limit was selected based on the recruitment site's (JHACH) patient population. Participants must be able to speak and understand spoken English because MI is language-dependent. The patient's SCD regimen must include at least one of the following medications: Hydroxyurea, Endari, Adakveo, or Oxbryta. Patients who meet inclusion criteria may participate even if their parent chooses not to do so, although 13-17 year old patients may only participate with parent consent. Likewise, parents of patients may participate even if the AYA declines their own participation, as long as the AYA assents/consents to medical chart review. Adult patients (18-22 years of age) will not require parent consent and may choose to participate with or without a parent.  Exclusion Criteria:  Potential participants who appear to have cognitive, motor, or language delays, as observed by research personnel or documented in the medical record, will be excluded from this study if delays preclude informed consent and/or study completion. Participants may request that research personnel read all assessment, education, and intervention materials aloud in a structured interview format, in which case participants could respond to items verbally and/or by pointing to visual aids. Because of this option, participants' ability to read and write are not requirements for participation. Because the MI component of the intervention is language-dependent and requires significant time and training for certification in another language, non-English speaking patients will only be included in this study if the psychology postdoctoral fellow hired in this study is a native Spanish speaker and can demonstrate MI proficiency in Spanish. Participants who score in the clinically significant range (t-scores 2 standard deviations above the mean) on any of the PROMIS measures assessing depression and anxiety will be removed from the study and provided mental health resources.
