The New England Center for Healthy Minds and their Medical Director and Therapists have been exemplary in their care and their willingness to let the patient guide their therapeutic trajectory within healthy goals. They have saved my life over the past 3 years. In addition, they provide cutting-edge therapies within the constraints of regulatory and/or FDA requirements. They are faced with so many serious challenges with clients on every biopsychosocial level and on a daily basis. We are lucky to have them here and on a local level. Kudos to NECHM! Thank you!

This place has been great! During Covid I was stuck with a terrible nurse who happened to be a fill-in after my wonderful long term psychiatrist had retired. The fill-in nurse literally had no knowledge of psychiatry (but had been in a hospital setting for many years prior, and therefore should've had some knowledge about prescribing medication and all that entails.) During the 9 years that I was with my original psychiatrist/therapist, it took us the first two through lots of trial and error to figure out what medications and treatment plans worked best for me. (This was no easy feat either, due to the first 16 years of my life being filled with intense and severe trauma. I experienced every form of abuse imaginable, including prolonged torture amongst several other unpleasant things.) So, my mental health &treatment plans are quite extensive and need to be thoroughly regulated. Despite knowing all of this, along with the fact that I had been stable for the last 7 years I was with my prior Dr., this new nurse lady took it upon herself to cut my anxiety and adhd meds in half immediately (no tapering) and changed my depression medication because, 'she had read this one worked better for people like "me."' All of this During the very first year of covid, no-less, when the entire World was anxious and depressed. I cried every single time I had to meet with her, each time I tried to plead with her to let me go back to the medication routine that had been keeping me stable for so many years before having to meet her, no such luck. I was stuck with her for a full year before I found The New England Center and I cannot tell you how good it felt to express tears of joy after my first time meeting with Michael Pizza! He actually listened to me, he actually cared- and boy, what a whole World of difference that makes! I've been here for 3 years now and I am still receiving a highly skilled level of care! I strongly recommend The New England Center for Healthy minds!

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Never can get anyone on the phone. Patient portal can’t find my provider. Very frustrating. Unprofessional. Unfriendly. Clearly it’s falling apart at the Acton location.

I love this place, the virtual appointments are so convenient and I like that they use doxy, I’ve heard it’s more secure than Zoom. My nurse prac is Christopher Parmanand and he is THE BEST! I’m so used to people in the medical field being brief/ dismissive and treating me as a number, but Dr. Parmanand is so nice and fun to talk to! He’s so knowledgeable and takes time to fully explain things, teaching me things about the body/ brain, which I really appreciate and value.

Never go here if you value your health and bodily autonomy. I almost lost my life. This place ruined my childhood starting at just 6 years old by giving me heavy medications I did not need for YEARS, and not being honest and upfront about the possible side effects that could be caused. I came to New England Center For Healthy Minds when I was just 6 years old. I had OCD/anxiety, and ADHD. The psychiatrists told my mom over and over how this medication was necessary for my mental health and I just needed to find the “right one”. I would be cycled on and off heavy medications, & rapidly gain 25-50 pounds within a short amount of time, become aggressive and irritable, have mood swings, and more anxiety. My mom was ALWAYS told “oh well she just needs a better diet and more exercise” By the time I was in 3rd grade I had already started getting acne due to the hormones I was unknowingly being pumped with. At 12 years old I went off medication by choice because I finally could verbally express to my mom I “Didn’t feel right”. My Mom gave me the chance to stop taking them and the pounds flew off! I was ecstatic, I was no longer overweight for the first time in my life! I could finally keep up with other kids! I finally wasn’t always out of breath and feeling numb, because on those medications I couldn’t even cry. I didn’t even know what normal felt like until I wasn’t on medication. I didn’t know what it felt like to not be numb, sick, and fat constantly. When I was 16 I unfortunately came once more for medication. I had Judith Cassarella for my provider/prescriber. She is the reason I almost lost my life on a medication I should have never been on. I expressed to Judith how nervous I was asking for medication, stating how I just can’t manage my anxiety, but I really am scared of the side effects and gaining weight. I told her my trauma with my past bullying and experiences with being overweight, and even opened up about bulimia and body dysmorphia. I said how it would severely negatively impact my mental health if I gained any weight. Judith insisted on prescribing me Abilify. She claimed that she completely understood my concerns and stated “on such a low dose of Abilify (5 milligrams) it is impossible to gain weight and the side effects are so mild, I think this would be the perfect medication for you“ I asked persistently if there was any risk of weight gain, and she insisted going as far as to say “The most weight you could possibly gain is only 10 pounds, and with diet and exercise it’s completely avoidable.” I gained over 110 pounds total and almost died, went from 148 - 260. Judith never admitted the weight was caused from the medication and she blamed me completely for “overeating” even though I told her from the beginning I was gaining 5-10 pounds per month. she blamed the first 20 on "holidays" and "being happier". I gained 60 by being on Abilify for 9 months and gained an additional 40 pounds after due to insulin resistance and high blood sugar/cortisol from medication. Judith clearly knew insulin resistance was a possibility due to the fact she suggested (never prescribed) metformin during our last in person appointment when I had gained 10-15 pounds claiming it could help weight management. I got misdiagnosed with PCOS at an endocrinologist because Judith could not honest that it was the medication. I was just severely insulin resistant. I was only 16 and have still not recovered from the pain and trauma I went through then and at the age of 6 at the hands of this place and these providers. As a 20 year old woman now I have lost over 125 pounds naturally using an inositol supplement for my insulin resistance and continuing to eat a low carb high protein diet with natural whole foods, and exercising. My mental health improved significantly with meditation, therapy, and learning coping mechanisms. Please run from this place and if Judith is your provider RUN. It’s scary to know this place does not inform you of the black box label warnings, life ruining side effects, and even risks of death!

My son is still waiting on his medication after billing issues arose, since they moved to Acton, Ma. Very stressful when you have nowhere to go. I guess he will have to suffer, until we pay the collector they sent the wrongfully charged bill that was never resolved. ......... After 6 years, service has changed a bit. After covid 2020, ser ices have gone to online predominately. This site seems to be only for prescribing. It would benefit them to have some more spots for therapy. But to each their own. They are good to me and my son.

I have been lucky enough to have an excellent provider, Dr. Parmanand. My complaints have nothing to do with him. The service at this business is frankly unacceptable. I am not exaggerating when I say you will get a voicemail 9 out of 10 times you call, and it will take a couple days for them to return your call. For something as important as medication, this cannot be excused, and I cannot in good faith recommend this to anyone. All of my problems with this business would be resolved if they just hired a receptionist who actually did their job.

I’ve been going here for years out of connivence, and let me tell you, the bar is low. At this point I know what medications I need and I just need to see someone a few times a year to get refills. Their customer service is terrible and they won’t help you with anything. They bill you incorrectly all the time and won’t even notify you of HUGE price increases, because apparently they don’t have to. And probably the most disgusting act of medical negligence I have seen, my prescriber told me I could stop taking Wellbutrin COLD TURKEY. The reason I inquired about getting off of it was due to having had episodes in the past where I had forgotten to take it for a few days and experiencing dangerous side effects (but at the time of asking to ween off, I had been taking it consistently). Unfortunately, this is pretty consistent with the medical knowledge they’ve provided over the years, as it feels like they just Google a list of SSRIS and ask me to pick one. But actually this is worse, because I don’t think I could scour the internet long enough to find a resource suggesting to stop taking Wellbutrin cold turkey. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.

I’ve worked with them since 2006 and It was a pleasure to work with them as a young adult, I highly recommend this practice for anyone who struggles with Mental Health and is going through anything.

Samantha Leahy

The providers are fine, however trying to reach the front office is the biggest hassle. I’ve tried calling them for the past 2 days to schedule an appointment so I can get a refill on my medication. I have gotten a voicemail every single time I’ve called. It’s impossible to reach them and by the time you finally get a hold of another person on the other end, you now have no medication left and they take another 2 days to fill it so you’re left with struggling with no medication. Very frustrating.
