WELCOME TO OUR INTERN, NAOMI! Learn more about her below๐๐ป
โHello, my name is Naomi Marks. I enjoy connecting with people and supporting their growth in becoming their best selves. I believe in the positive impact that empathy and a safe, warm, and caring environment have on navigating through mental health challenges.
I work from a strengths perspective and aim to discover what a person has within them that can be harnessed to overcome whatever they are facing.
My education is in trauma-informed care, and I believe in the importance of understanding the effects that trauma has on a person in order to provide clarity on their current struggles. I came to the path of wanting to be a mental health practitioner by attending therapy to work on my own trauma history and experiencing the healing, self-awareness and personal growth that comes with it. This grew a desire inside me to pay it forward!
I will graduate in May of 2022 with a Master of Social Work degree and will work on furthering my career in mental health counseling.
I am a proud mother of three school-aged children (and have three bonus kids), a partner to a loving ER nurse, and a dog mom to two crazy doggies. I enjoy coffee, spending time with my family, hot yoga, and watching documentaries. I would love to get to know you and walk alongside you on your journey in mental health!โ
A great reminder on this beautiful Saturday!

This book is aimed at lifting up all fathers, through diversity and grace. Itโs not necessarily the big moments in our childrenโs lives that define us as fathers and make the greatest impact. Rather, all the small, unnoticed moments in between that build the strongest foundation with our kids. In this book, I want to capture the importance of those smaller moments however we can relate to them. Read it with your children and families, or even alone, and allow yourself grace as a father and recognize it is our privilege and honor to be DADs.
Much love + gratitude,
Lamar

Are you my daddy?
Happy birthday to our big hearted, dadโing so hard, BBQโn leader!
Happy Fatherโs Day to all the father figures out there! We come from all walks of life + a lot of lessons learned, but itโs what we teach the children that matters most. Kindness, grace, hard work, passion, forgiveness.
Today, I wanted to share a small piece of a project I am working on, with you. Itโs a project close to my heart. More details coming at you soon. Much love, Lamar
Weโve been working on something really cool! Itโs super hard for me not to spill the beans, but I know itโs worth the wait. Cheers to honoring the many faces of fatherhood. I am excited to reveal everything soon!
Shout out to Jamie Trosen Design + Creative for the awesome illustrations!
Happy Sunday yโall! Iโm some reflection throwing grass feed this am and the pup walk... it was an incredible feeling knowing that we are all here together no matter the personal or social issues! โAll that you areโ The Foreign Exchange hit the ears and it was such a powerful motivator to keep grinding, have grace for yourselves and others, and feed your passions. On this day, we may have different beliefs and perspectives but differences with listening and reflection is a needed foundation. Letโs keep grinding together and look out for one another! Today and tomorrow yโall!!!!!! Much Love - Lamar๐
Whether you celebrate today as Easter or something else thatโs sacred to you, we hope you take special time to fill your soul. Family, nature, friends, love โ all the good that is.
As a mental health practitioner and father myself, I think it's important to be a resource for the men too. This is a great list. Start with one and keep going!
Try incorporating some of these into your daily or weekly routine.

Good Afternoon All - a thought that I have been thinking about for a few days. In light of our current state of affairs, I was thinking about what do people miss the most as a result of? There are genuinely a great many things that I miss and many have been taken for granted but I will share one of the more surprising aspects that I have found that I miss quite a bit. "Chance Encounters" with people regardless of who you are and story. I remember as I first opened the doors here and I locked myself out of my office (I mean, pretty common right?) and I was in the hall waiting to be rescued and a gentleman was getting his laps in and stopped and struck up a conversation with me. It took me off guard for a moment but I quickly realized that this gentleman was genuine in his interest in me and what I was about while learning a bit about him and his story. This interaction lasted only a few moments but I would like to believe that interaction was an exchange of mutual interest and well-being. As I am terrible with names, I cannot recall his name but can recall that moment and how uplifting it was. I hope I get to see this gentleman again soon!
I share that as I believe these times are counter intuitive to us as communal people and our need for survival, to socialize, protect, and thrive. So my hope and goal is to come out of this time moving towards others and genuinely learning about one another. Let's all be safe but remember we need to work, play, laugh, cry, and thrive hand-in-hand. "Chance Encounters!'
What do you all miss the most? I would like to hear about it for sure! Much Love - Lamar
