Sam, our Child Therapist with Synergetic Play Therapy Specialty, our Client Relations Supervisor, and our informal go-to team mentor to our Blueprint Fam. No formal reason for this post other than sharing how appreciated she is💙🫶💜
For the month of November, Blueprint will be collecting non perishable food to donate to those in need. Blueprinter’s, please bring in anything you’d like to share and drop it in our food drive collection in our waiting room. 💜💙

New client today. Said he’s only looking for one session on October 31 where he can be his true self in a confidential space. Reports anytime he gets close to someone they run away. Reports feeling villainized and wanting to work on resisting impulsive sometimes violent thoughts and urges. Highly motivated for change. Eventually wants to take his mask off. Although slightly intimidating, Sam really helped him out and provided a healthy non judgmental space to process.
👉Therapy Recommendations: Weekly therapy using parts work and EMDR interventions, DBT skills to gain emotion regulation skills, safety plan in place with high risk protocols.

Happy Halloween everyone! 🖤👻
We’re really doing something different over here at Blueprint Mental Health. We truly take pride and attention to every single detail, from the very first call, to the first time walking in our space, to sitting on our couches in our waiting rooms and all of our offices. The whole experience matters 🖤
Sometimes, you just need to find a cozy spot at work for a mid hump day nap. (Toby wouldn’t let us use the phrase cat nap.) 😴
.
If you’re feeling extra tired these days, you’re not alone. The weather change has a lot of us feeling tired or low energy. Try to hydrate, stay off your screens and practice that self care 🖤
“All pumpkins and feelings are welcomed” here at Blueprint 🙃 🫶
Our littles are so creative. Happy Spooky Season at Booprint Mental Health 👻🎃
Healing doesn’t mean that you don’t still hurt, or that you don’t have painful thoughts or feelings when a wound is touched. Healing means that you feel more in control of how to navigate and sit with that pain, instead of reacting on autopilot… healing is a process.🖤
We feel you, Toby. Behind people’s perfect family apple picking and “everything pumpkin” social media pictures, we assure you there is a lot you don’t see. As the weather gets cooler and the days get shorter, if you start to notice feeling down and low energy you’re certainly not alone. Seasonal depression is very real.

Check in with yourself (and the people you love!):
🎃: How am I doing?
🎃: How am I handling things?
🎃: How am I taking care of myself?
🎃: What needs my attention?
.
No shame in needing and asking for some help. We’re always here. 🖤
Say 👋 to our new adorable, and of course therapeutic, feelings basket! Compliments of Taylar, Senior Clinician with Sand Tray Specialty 💜
Sometimes, a simple angle speaks to all the warm and cozy feels around here. We strongly believe the atmosphere matters.💜

The voice parents speak to their kids become their kids inner voice. Tell your kids you love them for who they are and tell them this often. 🖤
For any parent who feels lost… we’re here. No commitment to therapy. No judgement. Simply a space to sit with one of our therapists, ask questions, and receive direct feedback about how to best support your child. From littles to young adults. 🖤💜💙
The first day of an incredible career ahead helping people.💜 Everyone that is about to work with Nikki as their therapist is truly so lucky.

Props to Deonna, our supportive BP Practice Admin for the sign, stepping right into Carly’s creativity! Love our team. 🫶🎨
“Things feel hard right now” has been echoing through our walls here at Blueprint. Who relates?
.
Never should there be shame in the struggle or asking for help. If you’re thinking “maybe I should talk to a therapist”, that’s your sign that you probably should talk to a therapist. 🖤
Drumroll 🥁 🥁… please join us in CONGRATULATING Helen on getting her “C”!

After helping so many people as an LSW (licensed social worker), Helen is now an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) and earned the title of Senior Clinician. 👏👏👏

We are so proud of her 🫶
