One of the most sought-after occupations today is being a therapist. My daughter recently completed her Masters Degree in Social Work and is currently working as what she describes as a mental health therapist. She loves her job but I think it takes a particular type of person to be successful in this demanding profession.
I asked her what were some of the office accessories that were in each therapist’s office at the company where she works. She mentioned the following: fidget toys, bulletin boards, feelings wheels, oracle card decks, standing desk risers, stress balls, and file folders.
Creating a cozy therapy office is all about crafting a space that feels warm and inviting, where clients can relax and open up. By focusing on comfort, calming colors, and thoughtful decor, you can design an environment that promotes safety and serenity.
