The best thing is when you truly mean what you say about the quality of your business and your team of therapists. When that day comes, I truly hope we have somewhere like Blueprint she can go 🥹
we agree with all of these sentiments, little blueprinter! Boo skunks, get somewhere else! p.s: we love our clients ☺️

Cognitive defusion is the ability to step back from your thoughts instead of getting “hooked” by them.
Instead of thinking, “I’m a failure,” you learn to notice, “I’m having the thought that I’m a failure.”
That small shift changes everything! Your thoughts stop acting like facts and start becoming mental events that come and go like passing clouds…or fishing lures. 😏 You don’t have to believe every thought your brain produces—you can observe it, acknowledge it, and choose how you want to respond.
You are not your thoughts. You are the person noticing them.
GUYS we have great news. After a few short weeks of Marianne being here with us, while sharing her with a higher level of care… we are stoked to announce she’ll be with us FULL TIME. 🎉🎉🎉 Charlie is just as excited as we are, please join us in our teams excitement. So many more people are about to get to work with another amazing therapist here ☺️🖤
When your building gets skunked… you stock up on candles from our local favorite shop, @evolveclothing . This one shown here is Resin and Waves and we also love their Lost Coast scent. Definitely check them out while you guys are here 🖤🕯️
“Own a business, buy a building!” they say… 🫠. Today, Deonna (seen still working like a champ with fire trucks behind her 👑) came into quite a stinky situation! HUGE thanks to Somerville Fire, Somerville Police, Somerville Rescue Squad, Somerville Public Works, Somerville Hazmat… did I miss anyone?! What at first seemed to be a possible Hazmat situation, ended up being something completely different. We had a handful of REALLY great guys here and happy to share all is clear. Not sure what we did to upset a skunk 🦨, we are sorry and please don’t come back. Luckily, Olive had SO much fun seeing all the firetrucks and playing with Deonna.🥹🚒
Sure…we’d all love to go to therapy and gain some profound insights into our lives and struggles. But sometimes we need to start with the “small” stuff that’s happening right now in the moment. The thing is…we have to first BE there in the moment.
Here, John gives us a little game that he likes to play in order to practice a bit of that mindfulness thing you here so much about, and then work on change on the most micro or micro moments you can imagine. We know it sounds kind of silly… but the same time, you can’t say it doesn’t make sense. 💙
To any parent who doesn’t know where to start, looking for some support, struggling with how to support their child… we’re here. No commitment to therapy, just a one time appointment to sit across from a blueprint therapist and ask all your questions. We may not have every answer, however we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction and provide the space to release your worries. 🖤
Anyone else out there a summer Grinch like Charlie, dreaming about sweater days and waiting for cool breezes?! 🍁Trying to validate his feelings, while also encouraging him to stay in the present moment 🙃

The vibes here on a rainy day are just 👌#nofilterneeded
🥁 We are PSYCHED to announce that Blueprint has our first LMFT! Please join us in welcoming Courtney, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist ☺️. Courtney brings to Blueprint over a decade of experience helping couples and families improve their relationships, as well as helping people of all ages (including littles!) individually. She’s warm, she’s so easy to talk to, and we have no doubt she will blend in with our team gracefully. We can’t wait for all the families she is going to help here 💜. Please join us in welcoming her to the team!! 👏👏👏
At Blueprint, we put a TON of effort into what your experience on your initial phone call with us feels like. Our Client Relations Team, made up of Deonna, Jenny and Pearl know our practice inside and out. They are all clinicians in the making, attend our weekly clinical rounds, know all of our clinicians specialties…but if we’re being honest…they were chosen for this position because they’re just nice to talk to. 😊
One of the major differences between us and other practices, is that we don’t just pair you with the first clinician who has availability. We first look at who would be the most clinically appropriate therapist based upon what your needs are. But we don’t stop there…next, we also look at who would be the best fit based upon your personality and interests. Then, we finally look at scheduling availability.
We will never pair you with someone just to fill an appointment slot. It’s just not how we operate. This is just one of the many things that makes our practice just… different. 💙
happy independence day from all of us, especially our founding fathers, of blueprint mental health. 🇺🇸💙🤍❤️(while we are fans of office jokes we are truly thankful for all of those who fought for our freedom 🙏.)
From the very first contact with us, it’s just different. 🖤 Never is there shame in the struggle. We’re here.
When your child is a client at Blueprint 💙 they will have their own personal therapist that they will meet with weekly, and that therapist has a team of 11 other clinicians behind them, offering support and fresh perspectives. We don’t know what we don’t know, unless we have we have someone else taking a look at what’s going on.
At Blueprint, we take it a step further by having a team within the team. The “Littles Crew” is our team of clinicians who specialize in ages 3-11. When it comes to working with children this age, traditional talk therapy just isn’t going to cut it. Our team are masters of supporting your child’s mental health in a way that doesn’t feel like therapy at all.
But don’t worry….as parents, you’re going to get some support as well. We believe in offering coaching on how to be the best support at home. Let’s face it…we only spend about an hour a week with them. You’re the ones that are going to have the biggest impact on their mental health. 💙
The voices behind the first call with us at Blueprint. Every single call is taken with the warmth and understanding of how big of a deal it is for someone to reach out for help. Welcoming Pearl to her first week with us, we are so happy you are here on our team. 🫶🫶
