Let’s dive in!
Soothing and grounded
It’s no secret that soothing blues and grounded greens are highly favored colors for private practices. Color palettes that draw from nature are inherently calming and this is often the mood a therapist strives to create in their office. For a similar color palette, check out the brand identity we created for Sean Maness.

Playful and soft
Youthful energy guided the inspiration behind this playful and soft color scheme. It’s appropriate for a children’s therapy practice looking for a color palette with invigorating and refreshing elements. Sunshine Daily Rx uses a similar color palette that is warm and inviting.

Uplifting and rejuvenating
Teal is a mix of blue and green that promotes mental clarity and open dialogue. Purple works harmoniously with teal to foster awareness, insight, and calm. This is suitable for trauma therapists helping patients work through the physical, emotional, and psychological effects. For more color palette inspiration, check out Therapy Villa.

The abstract icon symbolizes how healing starts by recognizing the layers of a person’s mind that need to be peeled back to get to the root of an issue.
Vibrant and professional
This color palette is ideal for an art therapy practice whose clientele spans many age groups including children and adults. Art therapy promotes mental wellness through creative endeavors and the color palette reflects this while also remaining professional. It’s vibrant enough to convey creativity and serious enough to appeal to professionals.
Earthy and sophisticated
This color palette strikes the perfect balance between earthy and polished. Complimentary purples and greens are perfect for therapy offices looking for a natural color palette that has an air of refinement. Laura Fish Consulting also implemented a color palette that draws from nature, check it out here.
