Hello! And Welcome to Blue Dot.
We’re so glad you’re here. And we’d love to share our story with you.
The name Blue Dot comes from two places — one of our shared humanity, and one of finding your individual path.
At Blue Dot Psychotherapy PLLC, these two ideas come together: we honor the vastness of your story and the systems around you, while helping you find your precise place in the present moment so you can move toward meaningful change.
“Blue Dot” & You
Just as important as Sagan’s photograph, you are the blue dot on a map. It’s the simple indicator that tells you “You are here.”
In therapy, knowing where you are emotionally, relationally, and developmentally is the first step toward knowing where you want to go. We can help you gain clarity, grounding, and direction, much like a GPS that orients you before you take your next step.
“Blue Dot” & Shared Humanity
Blue Dot references Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot, the 1990 photograph of Earth taken from billions of miles away. From that distance, our planet appears as a tiny speck suspended in a vast universe, reminding us that every life is part of a larger and interconnected system.
This perspective mirrors the roots of our practice in systems theory: we understand that no one struggles, or heals, in isolation. Our experiences are shaped by relationships, environments, histories, communities, and the worlds we move through.
