Laurie Rokutani

top

Laurie Rokutani, Ed.S., M.Ed., CPP, MAC, NCC has been a counselor for over 25 years serving a wide variety of clientele from indigent substance abusers to the very affluent. I have worked in both private and public agencies, from coast to coast and in between. I shifted gears from general counseling to a focus on substance abuse counseling, then shifted again into substance abuse prevention (K-12). My work in prevention included student assistance program counseling and coordination. My next step was out of direct service and into academia where I taught both prevention and counseling courses and provided prevention consultation to schools and agencies as a part of the counseling program's emphasis in addiction counseling and prevention. I am currently working for the Mid-Atlantic Addiction Technology Transfer Center and the Office of Substance Abuse Services, training substance abuse counselors in Virginia. A particular area of interest for me right now is watercolor painting.

I have also had some personal experience with "cultural diversity" having grown up in the only family of color (I'm a sansei) in my small midwestern home town. Website: http://www.midattc.org/Laurie/

She first learned MI from reading Miller and Rollnick’s 1991 book, viewing training tapes, and receiving supervision by a MINT trainer. She later was trained by Bill Miller, one of the founders of the style. She thinks learning and honing her skills in MI counseling, training and teaching is a life-long process.
