Intentional Spaces Blog

At Intentional Spaces, we believe that mental health care goes beyond the walls of the therapy room—it involves advocating for a world that respects and upholds the dignity, rights, and well-being of every person. Here on our blog, we will share insights, resources, and our stance on pressing issues like LGBTQ+ rights, women’s healthcare, and transgender healthcare.
