Our Mission
​
The Wellness Collective (TWC) was launched in April 2020 by Lauren Pedersen, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. After spending over a decade working at a non-profit mental health agency in central CT, burnout hit hard. Lauren dreamed of creating a truly collaborative and inclusive community for providers and seekers of emotional healing.
​
The Wellness Collective
is committed to community engagement, education and acts of service with goals:
Providing high quality, inclusive psychotherapeutic and healing services that are accessible to members of the Greater New Britain community
Supporting, mentoring and incubating woman and minority-owned healing and wellness small businesses
​
​
Reducing stigma associated with mental illness and addiction
​
​
​
Sharing accurate and current content based on member specialisation and strength areas through workshops, trainings and support groups
​
Prioritizing anti-racism, gender equality and social justice
​
Practicing Transparency, Accountability, Collaboration & Regeneration
Acknowledging and honoring the cultures, values, needs and interests of the client community
