Pillars Health Group Reviews

This Friday, I graduate from Pillars IOP, and honestly, I’m emotional thinking about how far away this moment once felt. When I started this program, anxiety and OCD had taken over so much of my life. My world had gotten smaller. I was afraid of my thoughts, my emotions, physical sensations, and uncertainty. There were days when simply getting through the day felt like an accomplishment. There were moments when I wondered if I would ever feel like myself again. This journey has not been perfect. There have been good days, really hard days, setbacks, panic attacks, tears, and moments of doubt. But Pillars taught me that recovery isn't about never feeling anxious again. It’s about learning that I can feel anxious, uncomfortable, or uncertain and still keep living my life. I learned that I don't have to solve every thought, explain every sensation, or have 100% certainty before moving forward. I learned that setbacks don't erase progress, and that I am capable of handling hard moments. To the incredible team at Pillars: thank you for challenging me, supporting me, believing in me, and helping me find my way back to myself. You gave me tools I will carry with me long after I graduate. And to anyone struggling right now: Please don't give up on yourself simply because you can't see the other side yet. You don't have to take the whole journey today. Just take the next step. Take it scared. Take it uncertain. Take it with tears in your eyes—but keep going. There was a time when I couldn't imagine getting here. This Friday, I graduate. Not because I will never struggle again, but because I now know I can struggle and still keep going. Thank you, Pillars, for helping me believe in myself again. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Sharing so openly takes courage, and your reminder to keep going, even when it’s hard, may be exactly what someone else needs to hear. It’s so thoughtful of you to encourage others this way. Your kind words about our team mean a lot, too. Wishing you all the best in the days ahead. ❤️

I don’t always show it in group but the staff here has really helped me in ways I can’t explain in words

I started at Pillar Health during a really difficult time in my life. From day one, the team treated me like a person, not a case number. The intake was thorough but never judgmental, and the group sessions actually gave me tools I could use right away. What stands out most is how the staff follows through and I can’t say enough about how caring they were about my situation. That kind of care is rare. If you’re struggling with mental health, substance abuse or just need someone in your corner, go to Pillar Health. They genuinely want you to get better.

Outstanding clinicians and phenomenal mental health care. I was hesitant to join but am beyond happy and eternally grateful for every group and one-on-one session I experienced. A very well rounded program that has created such a safe and comfortable space to build connections with others in recovery and to develop skills and healthy ways to navigate anxiety, stress, triggers, and unhealthy urges. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. A highly recommended program.

I am so glad to give Pillars Health in Tewksbury the best review. I came into the IOP hesitant, but hopeful . The staff were engaged and encouraging. I came out of that hesitancy with a positive mental and physical outlook. The Check in and Check out were expertly handled with both in-person and virtually, making time to make each voice heard with helpful suggestions on how to keep moving forward to a positive, and , educated perspective!

I joined this program at a point in my life where I felt everything was out of control, I had no future, I had recently been dealing with a divorce and the loss of the life I knew with the pet family we created. Having that torn down I knew I needed to take a step to take care of myself. This program has allowed me to become in touch with myself again. Learn to live, by myself. Codependency was a crutch for me and learning about all of this has educated me to make better choices, and sit and really challenge my thoughts. Mid way through the program I lost someone I loved to suicide. Thankfully I was in the program and they gave me the space I needed to process for a few days and jumped back in. The team even helped me file an extension with PFMLA and work to ensure when I have returned I am the best version of myself going back. Met many great people and they have a great caring staff. Not to mention DOWN TO EARTH.

The staff is absolutely amazing! I felt like I belonged immediately. It's a small group, but the best I've ever experienced. I'm going to be so sad when it comes to an end, as I will miss everyone, but confident I learned the proper tools I needed to be my best self.

Pioneer behavioral health and the people there have seriously saved my life and changed it for the better. I cannot imagine what I would do without that program today I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time I couldn’t be more grateful for the knowledge in the community that I’ve gained truly such a wonderful place.

I’m still currently attending Pioneer Behavioral Health part-time three days a week, so I’m writing this while I’m still in the program. The whole team has been so supportive, kind and genuinely invested in helping me. I’ve already been able to see real changes in my life and in the way I handle things, and I feel more positive than I have in a long time about my ability to actually make lasting changes. I’m really grateful I found this program and for everyone who has been part of my journey so far. I was so nervous at first to participate in a group setting, but this experience has been life-changing. ❤️

My experience at Pioneer has been incredibly helpful and life-changing. When I first started, I was struggling in ways that made it difficult to manage my emotions, relationships, and everyday life. The program gave me a safe and supportive environment where I could be honest about what I was going through without feeling judged. The staff genuinely cares about my progress and helped me learn valuable tools that I can continue using after completing the program. Through therapy, group sessions, and learning different coping skills, I gained a better understanding of myself and learned healthier ways to cope in difficult situations.

If I could rate Pillars & their care team 10 stars, I absolutely would! I cant even begin to describe what a blessing they have been for me, in SO many ways! I'd never done group therapy before this, so I didnt know what to expect. I told myself I'd put in the effort to go for a few days, but, once I got there & started attending groups, I was warmly welcomed by everyone & they quickly turned into a second family to me! I spent a little over 90 days here & during that time, I gained a lot of skills & relationships that I will forever cherish! Lasting impressions were made by Max, Hannah, Erica, Casey, & Amy. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart! SO MUCH LOVE!♡

I recently went through some very traumatic events and was spiraling. I owe everything to this place! I am lucky to have known some staff members for years. If you want to feel seen, heard, respected and feel like your voice really has value in your own mental health treatment then this is the program for you, recommend 10/10!

This program did so much for me, it’s hard to put it into words. Never in my life had I entered such a welcoming space, no matter what baggage i came with, I was met with complete respect and empathy. They also gave me tools for every day life that I use to get by, without this program i’m not sure where i’d be. If you think you need help, this is an amazing place to seek it.
