The Gateway Institute 940 South Coast Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626

"I have been attending Gateway for almost 2 years now and I feel very fulfilled by my experience there and time spent with my therapist Karen Alonso. I highly recommend her, we've been working together and I can't give her enough credit for all of my progress made. I appreciate her patience, expertise, and understanding. Gateway makes sure that the therapist the pair you with is compatible to your needs and I truly feel like Karen was the perfect match. Not only is she caring, empathetic she makes you feel comfortable in a setting which can be a vulnerable experience. Thank you Karen! Thank you Gateway!"

"The experience I had at the Gateway Institute was amazing. Before the intensive treatment program, I could not really function on a day-to-day basis because of my OCD. My life was consumed by it and it was extremely distressing. I had not felt like myself in years and I had honestly forgotten what it was like to live without the interference of OCD. The guidance and support they give you during the program is excellent and because of this I no longer battle with OCD on a daily basis. The employees have a deep understanding of OCD and never made me feel out of place no matter what my compulsions or thoughts were. My therapist, Chris was fantastic. While the therapy may seem intimidating at first, I can assure you it is beyond liberating to free yourself from the grip of OCD. I completed the program over 6 months ago and I am better than ever. The tools they give you during the program are useful for overcoming more than just OCD and can be applied after therapy as well. I cannot imagine having done any other therapy program."

"I am beyond thankful for The Gateway Institute and the life-changing support that they have provided me. If you put in the work, they will help you defeat the debilitating condition OCD can be. Your therapist will give their all, and as long as you stay the course, you will see results. Because of The Gateway Institute I feel like I got a piece of my life back. They helped me through one of the toughest times in my life and gave me the skillset to move forward and live again. Thank you to Karen and Gateway for all that they have done for me!"

"The Gateway Institute is the genuine article for OCD treatment and related issues. They have worked out the ideal treatment and they implement it with exceptional professional skill and attention to the needs of the sufferer. My son worked with Brad Wilson, who truly knows whereof he speaks. I cannot be more pleased with my son's immediate progress in utilizing the toolbox of skills given to him for vanquishing his OCD. His growth in cementing these skills throughout the three-weeks of daily sessions was exceptional and I expect the follow-up will be important and well worth paying for. Indeed, I have no regrets whatsoever paying for this life-changing treatment. Worth every dollar spent."

"I found The Gateway Institute about a year and a half ago when I hit rock bottom. Ive had a lot of experience with other therapist but none of them compare to my therapist Chris Tronsden at Gateway. When I first walked into The Gateway Institute I was extremely depressed, scared and had no direction in my life. When first meeting Chris he was very friendly and professional. My therapist Chris is very unique in the way that he has been through it too and knows what its like. He really wants to see his clients succeed and get their lives back on track. After three months of seeing Chris I was a completely changed person. To be honest I don't know if I would be alive today if it weren't for The Gateway Institute and Chris. The Gateway Institute also have support groups that meet each week. I have been attending the younger adult support group for a year now and have seen so many younger kids and adults turn their lives around. I highly recommend The Gateway Institute! Treatment isn't easy but Gateway has the tools you need in order to get healthy again!"
