About Us
At Lead Changes Recovery & Equine Therapy Center, we believe true healing begins when people rediscover their worth, rebuild trust, and find the courage to step forward with confidence. Our Why
We exist to create a safe place where individuals can heal, grow, and find hope. By walking alongside people in their recovery journey, we guide them to reconnect with themselves, others, and the w

orld around them. Every session is built on compassion, respect, and the belief that change is possible for anyone willing to take the first step. What We Do
Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Services
As a DOT SAP provider, we help employees navigate Department of Transportation (DOT) and non-DOT return-to-duty processes with professionalism, clarity, and care. Our SAP services are designed to ensure compliance while prioritizing personal accountability and long-term recovery, while supporting them as they get back to work. Through guided equine-assisted therapy sessions, clients learn trust, communication, boundaries, and self-awareness in a hands-on, experiential way. Horses mirror human emotions, offering honest feedback that leads to breakthroughs in personal growth, leadership, and recovery. Addictions Counseling
We provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling for individuals and families impacted by addiction. Our approach combines clinical expertise with relational support, enabling clients to uncover the root causes of their issues, develop resilience, and create sustainable recovery plans. Our Approach
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we combine professional counseling, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and equine therapy to meet clients where they are. Every individual is unique, and we design personalized pathways that honor each person’s story, strengths, and goals. Who We Serve

The name Lead Changes comes from horsemanship, where a horse shifts its leading leg mid-stride. Just like in life, those changes can be difficult but necessary for moving forward smoothly. At Lead Changes Recovery & Equine Therapy Center, we help people make their own lead changes—transformations that allow them to live with purpose, freedom, and hope.

Healing starts when we learn to give ourselves the same compassion, patience, and grace we so freely give to others. ❤️‍🩹

Recovery is about more than leaving something behind—it’s about learning to rebuild trust with yourself, finding your worth again, and becoming the person you were always meant to be.

You are not your mistakes.
You are not your worst day.
You are worthy of healing, growth, and a life you love.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe real change begins when you decide to become the one who supports, believes in, and loves yourself enough to keep going—even on the hard days.

Be the one who loves you the most. The journey is worth it. 🐴

🌄 Recovery doesn’t just change one life — it creates ripples of healing.

When someone chooses recovery, the benefits often reach far beyond themselves. Families begin to heal. Trust slowly rebuilds. Relationships strengthen. Children, partners, friends, coworkers, and entire communities feel the impact of one person choosing a different path.

Recovery starts with you — but the hope, healing, and growth don’t stop there.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe healing is possible, and no one should have to walk the road alone. Whether you’re taking your first step or rebuilding after setbacks, we are here to support you with individualized care, addiction counseling, trauma-informed support, equine-assisted therapy options, and real conversations rooted in hope.

✨ One choice. One step. One day at a time.
And those steps matter more than you know.

💜 Heal. Grow. Change. One Step at a Time.

What we tell ourselves matters.

The words we repeat in our minds can either keep us stuck… or help us heal.

Recovery, healing, and growth often begin with changing the story we tell ourselves.

➡️ “I’ll never change” becomes “I’m learning.”
➡️ “I’m broken” becomes “I’m healing.”
➡️ “I’ve failed too many times” becomes “I’m still trying.”

At Lead Changes Recovery, we know the battles people fight are often invisible. Negative thoughts, shame, trauma, anxiety, addiction, and self-doubt can become loud. But healing is possible — and change starts one thought, one choice, and one step at a time.

“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”

You are not your worst day.
You are not your mistakes.
You are capable of growth, healing, and becoming the person you want to be.

Let us walk alongside you. ❤️‍🩹

Recovery can feel overwhelming, lonely, and uncertain at times — but you do not have to do it alone.

At Lead Changes Recovery ❤️‍🩹, we believe healing happens through support, connection, and having someone walk beside you through the hard days and celebrate the victories with you.

Whether you are just starting your recovery journey, rebuilding after setbacks, navigating trauma, or trying to find your way back to yourself — there is hope.

Let us be part of your support team and help you find your way in recovery to the best version of yourself.

Healing is possible.
Growth is possible.
Change is possible.

One step at a time. 💜

At Lead Changes Recovery, we offer individualized support through addiction counseling, trauma-informed care, life coaching, youth services, and equine-assisted therapy options.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward — you just have to take the next step.

Recovery is not a straight line.

Some days feel like progress. Some days feel hard. Some days you may feel stuck, uncertain, or like you’ve taken a step backward.

But healing doesn’t happen in a straight line — and setbacks do not mean failure.

Recovery is learning new skills, rebuilding trust, facing hard things, and continuing to show up even when it feels uncomfortable. Growth often happens in the moments we don’t always recognize right away.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe every step matters — even the small ones. Especially the small ones.

Whether you are just beginning, rebuilding, or learning to trust yourself again, know this: you do not have to walk this journey alone.

Each loop makes you stronger. Keep taking the step. 💜

We ask our first responders to walk into the hardest moments of people’s lives every single day.

They see trauma.
They see loss.
They see tragedy.
And too often, they are expected to carry it silently.

The reality is this: what first responders experience on the job doesn’t just stay on the job. It follows them home. It impacts sleep, relationships, mental health, and sometimes becomes something they try to manage through alcohol or substances just to quiet what they’ve seen and felt.

Here in rural Montana, we are behind when it comes to supporting the people who spend their lives protecting the rest of us.

We should be doing better.

Support after critical incidents should not be an afterthought. Mental health care, trauma-informed counseling, addiction support, and spaces where first responders can talk without judgment should be the norm—not the exception.

This is one of the reasons I specialize in working with first responders as part of my treatment populations at Lead Changes Recovery. I understand the unique culture, stressors, trauma, and barriers that often make asking for help feel impossible.

You do not have to carry it all alone.

Healing is possible. Support matters. And taking care of the people who take care of our communities should be a priority.

If you’re a first responder struggling—or someone who loves one—reach out. There is help, and there is hope.

✨ A small shift in perspective can change everything. ✨

What happens when we stop saying “I have to…” and start saying “I get to…”?

➡️ I have to go to counseling becomes I get to work on healing.
➡️ I have to start over becomes I get to build something better.
➡️ I have to face hard things becomes I get to grow through them.

Recovery, healing, and personal growth are not always easy. Some days feel heavy. Some steps feel small. But mindset matters.

You may not get to choose every challenge life hands you — but you do get to choose how you walk through it.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe healing happens one step, one choice, and one perspective shift at a time. Whether you are navigating addiction, trauma, mental health struggles, or life transitions, you do not have to do it alone.

💜 Sometimes growth starts with changing just one sentence.

✨ Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take the next small step. ✨

Healing can feel overwhelming when you look too far ahead.

The truth is, recovery, growth, and change rarely happen in giant leaps. More often, they happen in quiet moments… small choices… tiny steps that don’t feel big at the time.

Getting out of bed.
Making the call.
Showing up to counseling.
Saying no to old patterns.
Trying again after a hard day.

Those small steps matter.

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction becomes the biggest turning point in your life.

You don’t have to have it all figured out today. You do not have to sprint. Tip toe if you must — but take the step.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe healing happens one step at a time, with individualized support that meets you where you are.

What people see is rarely the whole story.

Addiction is often judged from the outside.

People see missed calls, broken promises, poor choices, mood swings, excuses, and pain spilling into relationships. They ask, “Why can’t they just stop?”

But what they often don’t see is the battle happening underneath.

The trauma no one talks about.
The anxiety.
The shame.
The sleepless nights.
The fear of withdrawal.
The loneliness.
The feeling of wanting help but not knowing where to begin.

Addiction is not about weakness, lack of willpower, or bad character.

For many, it becomes a way to survive pain that feels too heavy to carry alone.

That does not mean people are beyond help.

Recovery is possible. Healing is possible. Change is possible.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe in meeting people with compassion instead of judgment and understanding instead of shame. We take a trauma-informed, individualized approach to care because every person’s story matters.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please know this:

You are not broken. You are not hopeless. And you do not have to do this alone.

💜 Heal. Grow. Change. One Step at a Time.

It’s treatment court awareness month. Here is a testimony from a participant from another program who recently graduated.

You never lost custody of your kids, so you make posts judging the ones who did just to feel superior.

You never struggled with addiction, so you speak on it like it was always an easy choice, again trying to stand above people fighting battles you never had to face.

You never went to jail, treatment, or prison, so you use those chapters in someone else’s story as a way to separate yourself from them.

But maybe it was never about you being “better.” Maybe life just never handed you those exact storms.

Because the truth is, struggle does not discriminate. Life has a way of humbling every single one of us eventually.

Some people drowned in their pain.
Some people survived it.
And some people fought like hell to rebuild everything they destroyed.

That’s why I will always speak up for people trying to change their lives instead of shaming them for the chapters they are working so hard to overcome.

Because healing deserves support, not superiority.
And nobody should feel alone while trying to become a better person. 🤍
