Lemar Huot
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
I was once asked if I became a social worker because I wanted to save the world. I jokingly replied, "Yes, one person at a time!"
While there is no truth to social workers saving the world, a journey towards a better quality of life can begin with one person who challenges you while remaining in tune to your preferences. I believe in the body and mind's natural desire to want to heal. That all people have the ability to strengthen their coping skills in order to live more fulfilling lives. Whether you are struggling with work, family conflict, relationship issues, or school problems, my hope is to be alongside you as a guide. Although I enjoy working with individuals from all types of backgrounds, I specialize in PTSD (trauma, history of abuse and/or violence, inter-generational trauma), ADHD, and mood disorders (anxiety, depression) using a person-centered, culturally grounded approach. I can also address racial identity development, especially for second generation immigrants.
