Going into the dark corners you swore you’d never go again, and dusting off the old books you swore you’d never read before, can be absolutely terrifying. EMDR is an awesome tool to treat trauma and we’re proud to have it in our arsenal here at Blueprint. 💙

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a go to for many therapists out there. Many of us turn to it because it just seems to make sense and produces measurable results. That being said, you have to actually be there in the moment to realize you have an opportunity to use CBT. In the world we live in today, filled with distractions and quick hits a dopamine, staying present has never been more difficult…but it is absolutely necessary if you’re going to heal. #blueprintmentalhealth #therapistsofinstagram #cbt #mindfulness lness
While our hands are full behind the scenes at Blueprint and at home, we haven’t had much opportunity to be out in the community. This was a choice event we couldn’t turn down, created by our friend Dee, behind Explore BR, hosted by our friend Maria at her beautiful spot Osprey Nest. Thank you both! Felt good to be out there again repping Blueprint in great company from other local businesses 🫶💜💙

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

“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. “🖤
