When it all feels like too much, we like to remember this quote from Ursula Wolfe-Rocca:

"It can be overwhelming to witness/experience/take in all the injustices of the moment; the good news is that they're all connected so if your little corner of work involves pulling at one of the threads, you're helping to unravel the whole damn cloth."

Through hope, grief, and everything in between... We're here for you 💙

What is creative maladjustment and how does it pertain to mental health today?

In a 1967 keynote speech to the annual conference of the American Psychological Association, Dr. King noted how psychologists had given the world the notion of maladjustment.

"You have given us a great word," he said, continuing: "There are some things in our society, some things in our world, to which we should never be adjusted."

Dr. King spoke about "creative maladjustment" as the need for individuals to be not be desensitized to societal norms that perpetuate injustice, inequality, and discrimination. He encouraged people to creatively resist and challenge these unjust systems, rather than conforming to them. King believed that a healthy society requires individuals who are unwilling to accept the status quo when it perpetuates harm and injustice.

Over time, the term "maladjustment" fell out of favor in the field of psychology, however, the essence of King's message remains relevant.

Today, mental health advocates encourage a proactive stance against injustice and the societal factors that contribute to mental health disparities. King's concept of creative maladjustment serves as a reminder to actively engage in efforts to promote a more just and equitable society, contributing to positive mental health outcomes for individuals and communities.

Today and always, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and commit to being "creatively maladjusted" as we seek to operate in alignment with our values of equity and justice and open conversations about how social, racial, gender injustice (and more) affect mental health outcomes for all.

Our Story...

If you’re here you may be wondering… where did Blue Boat Counseling come from? I realize it’s unconventional as practice names go, but its story starts when I was a kid. I loved blue, and it seemed to run deeper than just a favorite color. It went for all the typical things, but the practice name comes from our summer trips to amusement parks. I would get in line for the rides and always wait for the blue boat (or car or plane). Yes, this means I let other riders go ahead of me while I waited for blue, which always got a few looks. When I look back on that scene today, I realize I was just being the real me. And that blue boat is a symbol of being your true self, which is exactly what I try to help my clients find. So I decided there was no better symbol for my counseling practice than this one of authenticity and freedom to be yourself. I want my blue boat to be a reminder that you deserve to BE YOU.
