Motier Haskins

I am an easy-going licensed mental health counselor at Choices Counseling and Consulting. I received both my master’s at Russell Sage College in Forensic Mental Health and in Counseling and Community Psychology. I have worked with a variety of individuals, most recently working with youth within middle schools, alternative schools, and in the Juvenile Justice system. Prior to that, I spent an extensive amount of time working within the substance abuse field, working within an outpatient clinic.

Within therapy, I use a multitude of techniques from Gestalt to Motivational Interviewing to CBT to Solution-Focused. It all depends on the client, their needs, and how best to address their needs. I meet the client where there are and help them achieve the goals they feel they need.

Clients can expect to be validated in their feelings and experiences. I will challenge them on some of their thoughts and beliefs as well as normalizing feelings they have. I think the client is an expert within their own experience and existence.
