01 Jan Gini Lehrman
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Northern California with nearly 30 years of experience in community mental health and private practice. I am a direct descendant of the Yurok Tribe of Northern California through my mother and grandmother. My relationship to this lineage is rooted in respect, reconnection, and responsibility, rather than identifying as a traditional culture-bearer.
My work is trauma-informed and somatically oriented, with ADHD-focused training and decades of sitting alongside women and mothers across many life stages. My teachers include community mental health supervisors, trauma- and nervous-system–focused clinicians, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous elders who have taught me to listen to land, body, and story.
In my practice, I specialize in working with ADHD, which I refer to as attention-different, and supporting women in moving from shame toward healing, self-compassion, and self-confidence.
