“Growth begins with awareness, with the willingness to slow down, notice, and understand what's happening within and around us. We built Headquarters Mental Wellness to turn that awareness into action by helping people find support and a sense of connection within their community.”
Lauren Bordes, LMSW is a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience working with individuals and families to explore patterns, build insight, and foster emotional well-being. Through her work in schools, inpatient settings, and private practice, she has seen how powerful it can be when people feel truly seen and supported and how the right connection can foster growth and lasting change.
She approaches her work with the understanding that our inner and outer worlds are deeply connected, our thoughts, beliefs, relationships, and environments all shaping how we live and feel. This holistic perspective guides her belief that therapy isn't just about addressing challenges, but about uncovering deeper insight and creating space for sustainable change.
That belief inspired her to co-create Headquarters Mental Wellness, a platform built to make finding help more connected and accessible. Lauren views wellness as a journey, not a destination, and believes in an integrative approach that honors both traditional and holistic paths to growth. She recognizes that each person connects to wellness in their own way and benefits most when given the opportunity to explore what resonates, mind, body, and soul. To her, lasting well-being grows from connection to who we are, to others, to community, and to a sense of purpose greater than ourselves. Guided by this belief, Lauren hopes to help build a future where caring for our mental and emotional health is seen as a foundation for a balanced, fulfilling life for her daughters and for the communities she serves.
