🖼️ "This Is Who You're Asking To" Admin Edition!

Our Admin team takes great pride in the work we get to do behind the scenes. We thought it would be fun to jump on this trend and share some of our faces from before we learned all the skills we have now grown proficient in. If you can nail down who is who, shout them out in the comments! And stay tuned for other locations/teams who may jump in on this trend! 💙

If you're ever in need of services, we've got your back! Call us at 219-323-3311 to get started today! 👉pillarsinspires.com

Clinician Spotlight🔦: Kayla LaMore, MS, CRC

On International Day of Awesomeness we’re thrilled to highlight Kayla Kroesch LaMore, MS, CRC, a clinician whose compassion and commitment shine through in everything she does—especially her work in maternal mental health.
Her supervisor Koree Anne shares:
“Kayla is known for her dedication, compassion, and tireless commitment to growth. She is always eager to learn and refine her skills; she brings both heart and expertise to the work she does with every client.”

Kayla’s newest blog, “Advocacy and Support for Maternal Mental Health,” explores meaningful ways to get involved—nationally and locally. From advocacy days and community walks to volunteer opportunities and support groups, she highlights the powerful impact collective care can have for mothers and families.

Outside the therapy room, Kayla loves playing video games, exploring Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, reading, hiking, and antiquing—interests that reflect her creativity and grounded approach to connection.

Kayla is accepting new clients, and if you’re a mother interested in our maternal mental health services, she’d love to connect with you.

You’ve probably heard the saying that you’re only as happy as your least happy child. But as a therapist, I see a powerful truth in the inverse: Our children thrive most when we are whole, too. ☕️

The "1 in 5" statistic isn’t just a number—it’s a reminder that mental health is a family journey. Taking care of your own mind isn't a distraction from parenting; it is a vital part of it.

While 1 in 5 Americans may need mental health services at any given time, the reality is that over 50% of us will face a mental health challenge at some point in our lives.

If this is your time, we want to help.

At Pillars of Wellness, we’re here for the big milestones and the quiet struggles. Whether it’s for you, your partner, or your little one, we’re ready to help you soar. 🕊️

Because at the end of the day, we all benefit from someone just wanting us to be okay.
