It Started With Lived Experience

Mind Dojo was founded by Justin Lokay, who built it out of his own experience. He has lived with anxiety and depression, and he has navigated serious illness — moving through the mental health and medical systems not as an outside observer, but as a client trying to get well.

From the inside, the system felt fragmented. Getting help meant juggling three or four disconnected providers — a therapist in one building, a psychiatrist in another, a wellness practice across town — and no one talking to each other. The hardest part of being unwell, he found, was often the work of holding all the pieces together yourself.

The idea behind Mind Dojo was simple: what if all of it lived in one place, designed to work together, with one team that actually coordinated care — so no one else had to do it alone?
