The Montfort Group

Counseling services provided in West Plano. Individual, couples, and family therapy offered. We see strength in scars.

Kintsugi refers to the ancient Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery with gold. Rather than hiding broken lines and flawed edges, a gold lacquer vividly joins the pieces together. This method highlights the marks to create a repaired piece even stronger and more beautiful than the original. Our group was born out of a need for a fresh, refined approach to therapy. Your story is complex and winding, and your path to improved mental health should be as unique as you are. The Montfort Group aims to provide a serene, calming setting where you can feel challenged, supported, and motivated. Our four skilled therapists bridge specialized backgrounds and varied philosophies together to create one unified strategy. Rather than steer you away from your own natural abilities, we help you maximize your unique strengths to uncover the boldest version of yourself. We do not view a broken history as the end of a story. We see it is an opportunity for a new beginning.

Repair asks more of us than being right ever could.⁠
⁠
It requires softness after rupture. A willingness to reach again. A choice to value connection over pride.⁠
⁠
Repair doesn’t erase what happened.⁠
⁠
It threads you back together — slowly.⁠

Many women are told the same message when their bodies start to change: "Eat less. Move more."⁠
⁠
But as Dr. Richa Mittal explains in this episode, midlife health is far more complex than that.⁠
⁠
Hormones shift during perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen levels change. Sleep, stress, and metabolism begin interacting differently than they did in earlier decades.⁠
⁠
So when women start feeling “off,” it isn’t simply about discipline or willpower.⁠
⁠
Often, the body is responding to biological changes that deserve understanding — not blame.⁠
⁠
Laurie and Dr. Mittal explore these changes and more of what women actually need to know about midlife weight gain, hormones, and metabolic health in this episode of Therapist Unplugged.⁠

Most relationships aren’t undone by one dramatic betrayal.⁠
⁠
They erode quietly through subtle secrecy, divided emotional energy, and moments that are minimized instead of named.⁠
⁠
Micro betrayals can feel small on the surface, but they destabilize safety underneath. Rebuilding trust isn’t about one big promise. It’s about small, repeated acts of honesty.⁠

Many women were taught that change starts with criticism.⁠
Be stricter. Try harder. Fix yourself.⁠
⁠
But bodies, especially in midlife, rarely respond well to shame.⁠
⁠
In this episode of Therapist Unplugged, Laurie Poole sits down with Dr. Richa Mittal to talk about what’s actually happening beneath the surface of midlife weight gain. Hormones shift. Metabolism changes. Sleep, stress, and nutrition all begin to interact in new ways.⁠
⁠
And sometimes the first real shift isn’t another diet or plan.⁠
It’s understanding the body with more curiosity than judgment.⁠

There are seasons when the life you built starts to feel tight.

Not because it was a mistake. But because you’ve grown.

Change doesn’t always come from collapse. Sometimes it comes from clarity.

Outgrowing something isn’t failure. It’s information.

And you’re allowed to listen.

03/03/2026

Midlife can be uncomfortable and strange.

Not because everything is falling apart, but because something inside you is asking to be acknowledged. There’s a restlessness and a quiet sense that the life you built might need to be adjusted.

But discomfort does not mean something needs to be fixed. Sometimes it is simply the signal that you have outgrown an old version of yourself.

If this resonates, Laurie explores it more deeply in her blog. Link in bio for the full piece.

Midlife isn’t always loud.

Sometimes it’s a quiet question that won’t leave you alone.

What still fits? What doesn’t? Who am I becoming now?

Questioning your life doesn’t mean you chose wrong. It often means you’re paying attention.

This season isn’t a crisis. It’s a conversation — about meaning, values, and what you want the next chapter to hold.

Body image isn’t just about appearance.⁠
⁠
It’s shaped by culture, family systems, media, relationships, and the quiet messages we absorbed long before we knew we were absorbing them.⁠
⁠
For many people, disconnection from the body didn’t begin as self-criticism. It began as protection.⁠
⁠
Heather writes about what it looks like to rebuild this relationship — slowly, intentionally, and without forcing positivity. Not by overriding your body, but by learning how to hear it.⁠
⁠
If you’ve ever felt stuck between shame and pressure around your body, this conversation may feel grounding.⁠
⁠

Many of us were taught to monitor our bodies.⁠
To fix them. Improve them. Control them.⁠
⁠
Very few of us were taught how to listen.⁠
⁠
Body image work isn’t about forcing confidence or pretending you love every reflection. It’s about building a relationship with your body that feels grounded, respectful, and curious instead of critical.⁠
⁠
Heather explores what it means to turn toward your body — not as a problem to solve, but as something that has been responding to pressure, culture, and experience all along.⁠
⁠
If this feels like a different way of thinking about body image, her full piece offers a thoughtful place to begin. ⁠

Pressure can feel motivating at first. It can look like discipline, focus, even commitment. But over time, it usually leaves us tense, reactive, and tired.⁠
⁠
If you’ve been starting this year with more urgency than steadiness, you’re not failing. You’re responding to pressure the way humans do.⁠
⁠
Sometimes the most meaningful shifts don’t start with doing more. They start with understanding what’s already happening.⁠
⁠
If you’re curious what sustainable change actually looks like, Courtney expands on this in her recent blog. Link in bio.⁠
