Restorative Connections Counseling

05/19/2026

Sometimes your mind just needs somewhere else to go for a minute.

Not something to solve.
Not something to figure out.
Just a small shift.

This is one of those really simple things that can help with that.

A few minutes of sitting, letting yourself notice what’s happening outside of you…
the sounds, the movement, the quiet.

It’s not about doing it perfectly.

It’s just about giving your nervous system a break from holding everything all at once.

Over time, those small moments can make it a little easier to come back to yourself.

Would this feel better in the morning or at night for you?

Save this for later, or share it with someone who might need a quiet reset 🤍

One year with Laurie 🤍

This week marks one year of Dr. Laurie Legocki, PhD, PCLC being part of Restorative Connections, and we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the care she brings into this space.

Laurie works with individual adults and couples who may be navigating trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, or feeling disconnected from themselves or each other. She creates a space that is steady, collaborative, and nonjudgmental—where people can slow down, build insight, and begin to move toward meaningful change.

Her approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from CBT, CPT, DBT, attachment work, and somatic and mindfulness practices. She also brings a depth of experience in areas like intimacy challenges, women’s health, chronic pain and illness, and LGBT+ affirming care.

What we hear often is how supported and understood people feel in their work with her—and how that begins to shift the way they relate to themselves and their relationships.

Laurie offers both in-person and telehealth sessions, including weekend availability.

We’re really grateful to have her here 🤍

If you’re in Montana and feel like her approach might be a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out:

And Laurie, thank you for the care you bring into this work, every day.

Mental health doesn’t only matter when things feel overwhelming.

It’s present in the quieter moments, too.
In how you’re coping day to day.
In what feels manageable… and what doesn’t.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it can be a helpful reminder to pause and check in with yourself.

Not just when something feels urgent.
But in the in-between, everyday moments.

You don’t need a specific reason to want support.
You don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable.

Sometimes it simply starts with noticing where you’re at, and being honest about what you might need.

That might look like slowing down, reaching out, or giving yourself a little more space and care.

If you’re in Montana and have been thinking about therapy, we’re here to support you.

📞 (406) 213-3313

You’re also welcome to save this or share it with someone who might need the reminder 🤍

If you stop by the office, you’ll see a new face at the front desk 🤍

We’re excited to welcome Karen to Restorative Connections!

Karen brings a strong background in working with individuals navigating mental health concerns, and she’s deeply passionate about helping people feel supported and connected to the right resources.

She’ll be one of the first people you interact with when you reach out or walk through our doors—and we’re really glad it’s her.

Her warmth, care, and genuine desire to help make a difference in those first moments.

If you see her, feel free to say hi—we’re so happy to have her here 🫶

Sometimes the more you try to think your way out of overwhelm, the more stuck you feel.

That’s usually a sign your body needs something different.

Something slower.
Something more grounded.

Using your senses can be a really simple way to come back to the present moment—especially this time of year when there’s more to notice around you.

You don’t need anything complicated.

Just a few small things… and a little bit of space to slow down and pay attention.

This isn’t about fixing everything.
It’s just about helping your body feel a little more settled.

What’s something you can notice around you right now?

Save this for later, or share it with someone who might need a reset 🤍

Not everyone experiences Mother’s Day the same way.

If today feels heavy, complicated, or different than you expected—you’re not alone in that.

There’s space for all of it.

Be gentle with yourself today 🤍

If you’ve been waiting for an in-person therapy opening… this might be your sign.

Dr. Laurie Legocki, PhD, PCLC now has expanded availability—including in-person sessions (not just telehealth) and evening appointments.

She works with adult individuals and couples, and we’re really glad to be able to offer more flexibility for those who have been trying to find a time and space that fits their life.

We know how hard it can be to reach out and then not find availability that works. This is one of those moments where something may finally line up.

Appointments are available for those using private insurance or paying out of pocket.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy—or returning to it—this could be a good place to begin.

It’s Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and this is something we think about often in our work.

Kids don’t always have the words for what they’re feeling.

Sometimes it shows up in behavior.
Sometimes in big emotions.
Sometimes in ways that feel confusing or hard to respond to.

But underneath that, there’s usually something they’re trying to communicate. And they need support in a way that meets them where they are.

That’s where play therapy can be really helpful.

It gives children a way to express what they’re feeling, process experiences, and build emotional skills—without needing to explain everything with words.

Cheyanne Carl, PCLC on our team is now offering play therapy to support children in this way.

If you’re noticing your child struggling, or just feeling unsure how to support them, you’re not alone in that. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own either.

If you’re in Montana and want to learn more, we’re here.
