We'll admit.. our Lake in the Hills office can become a bit loud sometimes with us being close together & often having a full house. As much as we all enjoy being close & full, we know there has to be some separation! 💙

In addition to recently adding more powerful sound machines, we added sound panels on the wall in Room 1, making it a quieter room with an even more COZY feel! 🤩
Check out our new sound panel wall (behind the long couch 😊)!

🌈 Feeling alone can be one of the hardest parts of being human—but you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

For many individuals a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, finding people who truly understand & support you can make all the difference. Community isn't just about having people around you—it's about feeling seen, accepted, & valued for who you are!

In our latest blog, Krista's sharing practical ways to find supportive LGBTQIA+ connections, build meaningful relationships, & create a stronger sense of belonging. 💜

✨ You deserve connection.
✨ You deserve support.
✨ You belong.

Maggie (our main Schaumburg LPC) says hi! 👋🏻
🤔Staff Spotlight: This or That Edition!
Coffee or tea?
• Both! You will rarely see me without a mug of something caffeinated.

Cats or dogs?
• I'm a big fan of both but I currently have 2 cats, Clark and Addison.

Travel the world or staycation?
• I don't mind a staycation but traveling the world is one of my greatest passions. I try to plan one trip each year to a destination I've never been.

Comedy or drama? Comedy!
• Laugher is the best medicine.

Win the lottery or find your dream job?
• Win the lottery - but only because I already have my dream job!

🌱 Setbacks can hurt our confidence, but they do not define our worth. A missed opportunity or difficult moment doesn’t erase the hard work, growth, and effort you’ve already put in.

Kevin is reminding everyone to give yourself grace, take a breath, and remember: setbacks can also be opportunities to grow, regroup, and keep moving forward. 💚

How to Rebuild Confidence After a Setback By Kevin Lahey, LSW We’ve all heard the term “sometimes, life just gets in the way”. It’s rarely something we’re happy to be dealing with, but it’s a fact of life for everyone. Unfortunately, there’s not any real way to know when life is going ...
