Design Psychology: How Our Environments Shape Mental Health
Exploring the Intersection of Space, Aesthetics, and Psychological Wellbeing
Welcome to Taproot Therapy Collective’s exploration of how design choices influence psychological experience, from therapeutic office layouts to home environments that support mental wellness. Our design psychology content examines how architectural elements, lighting, textures, and spatial arrangements affect mood, behavior, and healing outcomes.
