Who We Are
Pillar 5 was founded with a impassioned dedication to sharing our experience and knowledge to support and help families in our community who have loved ones facing developmental challenges. We are dedicated to providing compassionate care and effective solutions to help improve the lives of both individuals and their families.
Our 5 Pillars
Pillar 5 stands with passion and wholehearted commitment on five foundational pillars guiding our core values, beliefs, and practices while providing an unshakable foundation and bold direction--guiding our team’s every decision, fueling a thoughtful growth pattern, uniting us as a family operating as a team, and sharing our lifelong love for learning.
PILLAR 1
Client-Centered Approach
We focus on improving the lives of our clients through individualized care. Our understanding of each client’s unique needs is met with a tailored, results-driven service approach designed to create lasting, meaningful change. We want to teach our clients how to change their behavior, so they are empowered to make real meaningful improvements in their daily lives.
PILLAR 3
Team First Investment
Our top investment is our team of behaviorists. We believe the path to providing exceptional care is through building a strong, dedicated group of professionals. We strive to create a workplace culture which supports, rewards, and empowers team members to dream big so they can achieve big!
PILLAR 2
Evidence-Based Interventions
We rely on strategies that are scientifically driven to improve socially significant behaviors. Our organized approach for collecting data and understanding what is driving behavior allows us to employ interventions proven to affect change.
PILLAR 4
Collaboration Partnerships
We believe the best outcomes are achieved through teamwork, focusing on the connections and relationships as a whole. With a holistic approach to success, we recognize that everything is interconnected, and the well being of our clients requires collaborative work to address challenges from multiple angles. To guarantee lasting results, teamwork with caregivers, educators, and other professionals is paramount.

“SYMBOLISM”
As founders of Pillar 5, our path to its creation has been marked by many twists and turns, much like the asymmetrical branches of the oak tree in our logo. Each lesson and challenge has built a level of fortitude, symbolic of what Pillar 5 stands for, while the roots represent the five pillars we stand on, offering our team strength and a foundation for growth. The colors in our logo were selected with purpose and meaning. Through the orange we prioritize communication and social connection. Our strength is represented by the dark navy, while our gentle embrace of pink signifies our compassion and understanding. These are qualities we stand for and qualities we extend in every interaction.
PILLAR 5
Commitment to Excellence
We believe the true measure of intelligence is the ability to change. Our commitment to delivering the highest quality care demands we continuously evaluate and refine our practices. To achieve excellence, we understand success often comes on the third, fourth and fifth attempt. Our willingness to accept our challenges and understand our strengths allows us to achieve excellence through resilience and grit. We purposely place our services in a position to pivot allowing us to evolve and excel to meet the changing needs of our clients and team.
