The Montfort Group

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.

Traditions change because people grow.

What once fit your life may no longer fit in the same way. That doesn’t make those traditions less meaningful. It means they’ve done their job, and something new has room to emerge.

This season can be an opportunity to choose intentionally. To keep what still feels right. To release what doesn’t. To create rituals that reflect who you are now, not who you used to be.

There’s freedom in letting traditions evolve alongside you. You’re not losing meaning. You’re refining it.

If this year looks different, that can be a beginning. One shaped by choice, clarity, and self-trust.

When families come together, the pressure to make it work can move faster than trust ever could. The instinct is to smooth things over, to push for closeness, to hope everyone settles in quickly.

Angela reminds us that kids don’t experience time the same way adults do. When blending happens too fast, trust often pulls back instead of growing.

Boundaries early aren’t walls. They’re protection.
And slowing down isn’t failure. It’s care.

Holidays can stir up old memories that feel louder than expected. That doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong or that you haven’t healed. It means your nervous system is responding to familiarity, repetition, and history.⁠

Heather’s latest blog explores why this happens and how to care for yourself when it does, without shame or self-judgment.⁠

Co-parenting during the holidays asks a lot of people.

Schedules. Transitions. Hand-offs. Trying to stay steady for your child while managing your own reactions quietly. Most parents are doing far more emotional work than anyone sees.

If this season feels heavy, it doesn’t mean you’re failing at co-parenting. It means you’re navigating something complex with intention.

You don’t have to carry all of this alone.
Support can make this season feel more manageable.

Most people don’t realize how much their early attachments still shape the way they show up in relationships today. ⁠

What felt normal then often becomes familiar now, even when it creates tension or confusion.⁠

Exploring attachment can feel uncomfortable at first. It asks you to look inward in ways you may never have been encouraged to do. But the relief that follows is real.⁠

If you feel stuck in patterns you can’t name, Courtney’s blog on Uncovering Attachment might help you begin untangling where those patterns came from.⁠

The first holiday alone can feel disorienting.⁠
Not because you’re doing it wrong,⁠
But because something familiar is gone, and your body notices.⁠

This isn’t a failure or a setback. It’s a transition. One you didn’t choose, but are finding your way through anyway.⁠

You don’t have to make sense of it all right now. You don’t have to rush toward cheer or closure.⁠

If this season feels tender, that makes sense.⁠
Support is here when you’re ready.⁠

There’s a kind of tired that doesn’t show up in conversations.⁠
The kind that builds quietly while you keep handling what needs to be handled.⁠

Many leaders are good at being the steady one. They solve problems, take the calls, show up prepared. And after a while, it starts to feel normal to carry more than most people realize.⁠

But being capable doesn’t mean you don’t need support. It just means you’ve learned to push through.⁠

If you’re starting to feel the strain, that’s worth paying attention to. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.⁠

The Montfort Group can help you find a healthier way forward.⁠

New episode now streaming on Therapist Unplugged!⁠

Angela Johnson, The Montfort Group’s first practicum fellow, joins Laurie Poole for a conversation about the lived experiences that brought her into the therapy field and the steady, practical wisdom she now carries into the room.⁠

Listen to them talk about blending families with care, navigating major life transitions, tending to the couple at the center of the home, and finding purpose again when the house grows quiet.⁠

If you’re moving through a shift in your own family or partnership, this episode may give language to things you’ve been feeling for a while.⁠

Angela is now seeing clients beginning this December.⁠

A lot of men weren’t taught how to speak their stress out loud. They were taught to power through. To keep the peace. To hold it together no matter what it costs internally.⁠

But silence isn’t strength. And perfection definitely isn’t.⁠

Real strength is the moment a man tells the truth about what he’s carrying instead of muscling through it alone. It’s honesty and the willingness to seek change, even when asking for help feels unfamiliar.⁠

If the pressure has been building and you’re tired of pretending you’re fine, Angela’s latest piece on Why Men Carry Stress in Silence might meet you right where you are.⁠

Success can look good on paper and still feel surprisingly lonely in practice.⁠

Many high achievers move from one goal to the next without anyone to share the exhale with. The pace picks up, the responsibilities stack, and the internal pressure rarely lets up.⁠ ⁠

If accomplishment has started to feel more draining than meaningful, you’re not alone. That’s often a sign that support is missing.⁠

At The Montfort Group, we help leaders build relationships that sustain them, not just roles that demand from them.⁠ ⁠

If you’ve been told you’re too much, too sensitive, too intense—it’s likely because you started asking for enough. Enough effort. Enough presence. Enough truth.⁠

You’re not needy. You’re finally clear on what you’re worth.⁠

Tag the friend who’s done settling. Or save this for when you start to second-guess your standards.⁠
