The Gateway Institute - Scottsdale Arizona 18940 North Pima Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85255

"I completed Ricky's Intensive Outpatient Program about two and a half weeks ago. Learning how to manage my OCD has been a marvelous process. I am so thankful to have been taught by Ricky how to interact with my OCD! He taught me how to take my power back within my own mind. Also, on a neurological level, I have learned how this condition affects thoughts. I also learned how to face fears that would have given me panic attacks before (I now live with these things as somewhat regular parts of my day, and I feel little to no anxiety). The process can be scary, and it was. But it was exactly what I needed. And Ricky is excellent at explaining why. I absolutely recommend the IOP program! Have a good day! :D"

"We can not possibly express enough gratitude for the Gateway Institute in Scottsdale. From the moment of first correspondence with Sharon, we knew that our daughter would be in excellent hands. Her therapist, Rachel, was outstanding and proved that we had found the perfect place for our daughter's OCD/anxiety Intensive treatment. The care and genuine concern for our daughter was evident from the first phone call until the last day of her treatment. They truly saved our daughter's life and brought back the beautiful person she is- she is no longer controlled by this mental health disease. Thank you Rachel- you have worked miracles with this treatment."

"Therapy at the Gateway Institute has changed my life! From my very first consult until now, 6 months later, I have felt very much in a safe, judgement free environment where I was finally understood. My therapy with Rachel has been specific to my personal issues. I’ve been given a set of lifelong skills to help me move forward with OCD on better terms, MY terms. I suffered many years of intrusive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors that were making each minute of the day increasingly more difficult. I felt stuck, frustrated, miserable and depressed. I am forever grateful for all the progress I have made with Rachel’s knowledge, encouragement and support. I feel so much better, like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I can just live, sounds silly, but I’m back to being me again!"

"The therapist at this facility changed my daughter's life, FOREVER! She had diagnosed her after several psychiatrists and therapist misdiagnosed her. When she received the proper therapy, she made great improvements in her mental health. As for the 1 star review that was posted; remember, when it is difficult to get in to see a provider that usually means that they are good and worth the wait. Calls may have not been returned quickly because the therapists are busy; sometimes, you have to be patient. I know that can be difficult when you are not feeling well. I highly recommend this facility and the therapists!"
