“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 🖤

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 🖤
Huge thanks to Somerville High School for hosting an awesome Mental Health Fair! Sam and Olivia represented Blueprint, helping teens debunk myths about therapy, mental health and TikTok. We are here to set the record straight that most teens do know that TikTok is NOT better at diagnosing them than a therapist. Let`s be real, though…the candy and Toby and Charlie pic were the real MVPs! 🖤🍬🐶
We try not to post too many Toby and Charlie pictures. That being said…. on this rainy, cold day, we think some of you may need to see this one 🖤
We write this with the most bittersweet sentiment. After several years with Blueprint, we said goodbye to Taylar as she ventures on to her next chapter for herself. There’s so much we can say, and we’ll leave it with we will miss her SO much and are so happy and proud for her, as she continues her next step as the amazing therapist and mom that she is. We all will miss you so much and are forever grateful for your time here with us and all of the amazing work you did to help so many people here. Blueprint Fam always 🫶💜💙
Hi everyone! Olive gave us some great feedback recently, but let’s face it. She’s a little bias so we are asking for your help. Next time you’re here for your appointment, please drop us some feedback- the great, the ok, and what you’d like to see different. We’re always looking to improve and truly want to hear from you. 🫶

Not in the office? Feel free to email us, or drop a comment below 👇

P.S.- we strongly encourage wearing heart shaped glasses.. even after Valentine’s Day 🙃
Did I get to everything I had to do today? Nope. Did I run ten minutes behind? Yes. Did Charlie and I have a day of some pretty powerful moments in our office today? Yes.
Is that the main priority over the ongoing”to do” list? Also, yes 🖤
.
The list will always be there. Holding the space for people who are working on their themselves and their relationships, while they express, feel and process pain in order to heal is honestly always going to be my priority (and our babygirl at home of course🏡🩷). Thankful for the work here, it’s truly a gift.
Please join us in wishing JOHN a very Happy Birthday! The man behind Blueprint and a very loved dada at home.🖤
2025 Bridgewater Lifestyle Readers Choice award for Best Mental Health Practice. Year six… still every bit as grateful and honored. We put our everything into our practice, and our team is truly a collection of highly skilled clinicians and incredible people, doing the most important work for everyone who comes to Blueprint for help. Thank you all so much for this recognition. 🙏🥹🖤
Hot take: We’ve gotten really good at validating the struggle while tip toeing around accountability. Bombing a class (or a whole semester 😳) doesn’t just happen overnight and it can be preventable.
.
With the Spring Semester just starting, if you’ve been struggling in your classes this offers a fresh start. Here’s what you can do to PREVENT bombing a class 👇
.
GO TO CLASS. Set the alarm. Get there. ⏰
.
Plan out your assignments and when you will work on them. Do the work, try to avoid it building up where it becomes unmanageable .📚
.
Ask for help if you’re struggling, or if you’re falling behind. Go to office hours, speak up, don’t let it just become a mountain you can’t climb. 🧗
.
Take care of yourself as much as possible. Good sleep, less screens, balance the social part with the wellness and unplugging part of school and life.
.
Changing habits is hard AND with self awareness and support you can make small active changes in your life and how you tend to do things.
.
Best of luck for a Spring reset! 🫶🌸
When you catch that perfect, early morning sun coming in… ✨🙏
