In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, our Gen Z Practice Admin, Deonna ✨ took over our social media to create a fun and light hearted video trend of “Pass the Phone”. 📞 Working in the mental health field means having to make room for a balance of serious, heavy, supportive work and fun. 🖤

Olivia’s last day with us was yesterday. We will miss her warm vibe so much and wish her only the best of luck as she continues the next step in her journey. Thank you for your care and investment here as part of our team and for all of our clients reaching out to us for help. 🫶🫶🫶

Jenny and Deonna repping Blueprint at Cranford High School’s Mental Health fair. How great this awareness is for students. We’re so happy to help to remove shame from the struggle. 💜💙
As an owner, how people feel when they walk into Blueprint is everything. Today, I walked in a few minutes earlier than I usually do, and walked into the room for rounds and had a few moments to myself before the team slowly piles in. The music was calming and I took some time to just… sit and take in the feeling of this place. Happy to say, this place truly feels great. 🥹🖤
Sometimes our team comes across having to make hard treatment decisions that are not black and white calls to make. Sometimes we go “by the book”, and sometimes we think that “book” isn’t actually what the person or family needs. We created these blueprint principles to lean on when we come across those hard decisions- and none of us make them alone. That’s the value of a true treatment team 🫶

“Have you changed as a therapist now that you’re a mom?” I get that question a lot. Parenthood changes you, yes. Was I a good therapist before Olive? Yes, I think so. Am I a better therapist now? Not sure… probably not. The recommendations are the same. The connection with my clients is the same. The investment and the care is the same. What’s different? I really get that sometimes- often, even- you can do everything “right”… and it doesn’t matter. I understand differently the drain, the low energy, the constant “on” and the multiple hats. Is that needed to be a good therapist? I truly believe no. Does it change the depth in how you can understand or join with the parents you work with? Sure. Am I more relatable and my clients more relatable to me now? Yes. Did I have more energy, more pep, more availability prior to becoming mom? Sure did! Anyway… Olive turned two yesterday and I’m in my thoughts. Thanks for reading my jumbled, honest thoughts about being a therapist post parenthood vs prior. One thing hasn’t changed… my love for the work I do. At the end of the day- that’s always the most important factor behind what makes a great therapist, IMHO. I just now have this really cool two year old bestie along side me and Charlie💜 - Michele
When healers get some healing… our team field trip was both rejuvenating and refreshing. 💚 Thank you Gertrude for providing such a beautiful, authentic and calm space. 🧘♀️☮️🙏
A fun day over here filled with videos, laughs, pizza and the new dermot kennedy album playing throughout. Stay tuned for some new video content coming soon 🖤🎉
THANK YOU Business Rate for recognizing us as the Best Psychotherapist in Somerville for 2026 🙏🎉🖤🙌💜
“Hi guys. On behalf of my mom and dad, and the whole Blueprint family, I’d like to sincerely thank you all for the outpouring of incredible love and sentiments for my big brother Toby. While I can never fill his shoes, I’ll do my best being here as the solo pup for anyone who needs some love. Thank you, Toby, for welcoming me in and showing me the way of being “a really good boy”. We all love and miss you so much …. I’ll try my best to look after dad and keep your bed warm. “🖤
- Charlie
It is with the absolute heaviest of hearts that I share with you that yesterday, at 2:50pm, our beloved, Toby took his last breath in this lifetime. Michele and I and the entire Blueprint family, are absolutely heartbroken.
If you ever had the pleasure of meeting him, you know that he was the epitome of a “good boy”. I could literally leave a ribeye steak out on the coffee table, leave the room for five minutes and return to Toby sitting nearby, not ever taking even a nibble. There might have been a puddle of drool on the floor but not a piece of steak missing. You’ve heard the expression, he’s a “man’s man” ….well I always used to say he was a “dog’s dog”.
I’m going to miss you horribly old friend. I’ll see you on the other side 🖤

Definitely not your average therapists over here. Down to earth guys who both get it, clinically strong AND are easy to open up to about the struggles people are going through. Both John and Jason have *current* availability. OCD, anxiety, men’s mental health and general life stress 🖤
We’ll never just bring someone onto our team simply because we have an opening. We will take our time to find the RIGHT someone, who is both a solid personal and clinical fit, naturally connects with people and brings something unique to our team. Dog lover a must 🖤

Sometimes it’s the littlest things that make the biggest deal to our little blueprinters 💜 big thanks to Jenny, our Client Relations Team member and Graduate Intern for this little adorable friend 🐸
Listen to your gut. Most people think about therapy for a long time before they make the first call. If you think it would be helpful, it will 🖤
