No matter what your Thanksgiving looks like- small family, chosen family, large family, no family, solo with Chinese food… we hope it’s a peaceful one. Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all of you who have a hard time today, and to those with empty seats around your table… we see you. We’re so grateful to be the people you talk to about the things you might not talk about with anyone else. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.🖤🧡

Having a really cool moment. Olive and I are on pick up duty for Toby (he’s leaving his shift early 😂) so we’re waiting in the car for John to bring him out. It’s 5pm, so we’re waiting as people are leaving their 4pm session and coming in for their 5pm. As we wait here… people walking out smiling, kids walking in holding hands with their parent, some looking apprehensive… so many people. One family noticed me parked outside and asked one of our therapists, Nikki, if I was ok because they saw me outside waiting. So many people coming to Blueprint for help, and watching the foot traffic at our front door truly has me in my feelings. John comes down, Toby hops in his Uber (🙃) and Olive feeds John a cheerio from her cup before he runs back up to help the next person to sit on his couch. What a beautiful moment to sit and just observe all these people coming to us. How incredible so many people seeking therapy here with our team. What a gift to be able to open these door for everyone….thanks for reading - Michele 🥹🙏💜🖤

We are extremely picky when it comes to what type of decor makes its way into our space here at Blueprint Mental Health. We go far beyond just trying to create a warm and inviting vibe here at 73 West End. We want there to be layers of different pieces that you might not notice your first time in, your second time in or even your third. We want you to be able to notice something new each time you come through and for those things that you notice to be a part of who we actually are. You definitely won’t find a bunch of generic HomeGoods decor just filling up open space here⁣

Here here’s a photo from John’s office. In this photo you’ll notice:⁣
⁣
1. A vintage pair of hearing protection for shooting that was actually a gift from Jason.⁣
⁣
2. Nicola Tesla and Albert Einstein Saint candles, who are actually two of John’s favorite people⁣
⁣
3. An antique Zenith radio that actually still works. (He collects antiques)⁣
⁣
4. A Romero Britto signed lunch box. A gift from Michele’s mom. ⁣

What you see is 100% what you get here and we pride ourselves and not just being authentic individuals, but our space also reflecting that authenticity as well. 💙

I’ve always loved the symbolism of leaving a porch light on, representing waiting for a loved one who is struggling to return and letting them know you’re waiting for them. There’s always been something so deep and somewhat romantic about it to me.

We can be literally waiting because they’re actually out there somewhere but we don’t know where, or figuratively, in that they may be physically here in front of us but it’s no longer them inside.

To all of the folks waiting for their loved ones to return, leave that porch light on. To all of those still out there struggling…let that porch light be your North Star, for there are people who still love you, waiting for YOU to return 💙 - John

New client today. Said he’s only looking for one session on October 31 where he can be his true self in a confidential space. Reports anytime he gets close to someone they run away. Reports feeling villainized and wanting to work on resisting impulsive sometimes violent thoughts and urges. Highly motivated to change. Eventually wants to take his mask off. Although slightly intimidating, Sam really helped him out and provided a healthy non judgmental space to process.
👉Therapy Recommendations: Weekly therapy using parts work and EMDR interventions, DBT skills to gain emotion regulation skills, safety plan in place with high risk protocols.
Happy Halloween everyone! 🖤👻

We’re really doing something different over here at Blueprint Mental Health. We truly take pride and attention to every single detail, from the very first call, to the first time walking in our space, to sitting on our couches in our waiting rooms and all of our offices. The whole experience matters 🖤
