What’s all the buzz about?

“Both Michele and John have been fantastic resources for our family. Strongly recommend for anyone struggling with adolescents — with anxiety, depression, ADHD … Not only do they work with the children / young adults, but they work with the parents. Often times as parents, we need coping skills and strategies as much or more than the kids. The tools we have gained by working with them both have been invaluable. Highly recommend!”

“My family and I have worked with John for many years. He has been an awesome help to all of us. He has a tremendous understanding of adolescents and helps them to take responsibility for their actions and behaviors in a kind and encouraging way. He also works with the families with a very non-judgmental and supportive attitude. On a professional level, as a school counselor, I have received nothing but positive feedback from students and families that I have referred to John!”

“[I was] very impressed with John’s presentation and knowledge of adolescents and use of DBT. We will be sure to refer our families to supplement our therapeutic work at Sage Day School.”

“To say my daughter and I were struggling last year would be an understatement. I had tried to figure things out on my own and it simply was not working. I finally came to accept that we needed some professional help if we were going to learn to have an effective relationship. After much research and a glowing recommendation from a friend I called Blueprint Mental Health. That initial call was probably the hardest. My fingers were shaking, my heart was racing and my voice was wavering. But I knew we were finally going to get the help we needed. Miss Michele was kind, non-judgmental and patient and scheduled us for an appointment that same week. The first few appointments I felt overwhelmed, defeated, and tired as all of my greatest concerns were now being witnessed by someone other than myself. We met with Miss Michele weekly and started making slow but steady progress. There were some techniques we tried that were not effective for my best girl. As Miss Michele got to know my daughter and I better she customized a behavior plan that specifically meet our needs. Fast forward almost a year later, our weekly sessions have become monthly – my daughter is thriving and most importantly we are enjoying each other’s company again. Don’t get me wrong, each day is not rainbows and butterflies. We will always have our challenges, but thanks for the arsenal of tools that Miss Michele has given us, we are prepared to face the sunny days as well as the rain. I am so grateful for all of the help and expert guidance we have received and I would recommend Blueprint Mental Health with the utmost confidence.”
