Overview

Fruition Integrated Mental Health is a practice led by therapists Heather Woodford (she/her) and Kathryn Rabak (she/they). Their goal was to create a welcoming digital presence that reflects their integrated, inclusive approach to therapy. They needed a website that established trust, clearly presented services, and conveyed accessibility for a diverse audience.

My Role

  • UX/UI Design

  • Copywriting & Content Strategy

  • Brand Development (color palette, typography recommendations, visual direction)

  • Web Development (structure, page buildout)

Challenge

  • No existing website or cohesive brand identity.

  • Needed to balance professionalism with warmth in both design and tone.

  • Important to highlight inclusivity and gender-affirming care while appealing to a broad audience.

  • Copy had to feel approachable, not clinical.

  • Heather specifically asked for a colorful, fruit-inspired brand — “something that looks like it should be a smoothie stand.”

    • Crafted copy that emphasized inclusivity, collaborative care, and hope.
