Founded in 2002, Gateway Academy is an owner-operated residential treatment center dedicated to guiding families toward lasting healing through trusted, sophisticated care.

Gateway Academy's program is integrated in five ways:

  • 1. Therapy that is individualized
  • 2. Education that is personal (in a small classroom setting)
  • 3. Adventure that is therapeutic
  • 4. A community that is empowering
  • 5. Fitness that sparks the brain

What distinguishes Gateway from other RTCs is an emphasis on brain-based learning and healing within the context of relationships.

We believe that by understanding what’s happening in an adolescent’s brain at this formative stage of development, and by individualizing treatment through relationship-based therapy, we can help him learn, grow, and heal.

A typical Gateway Academy student struggles with many of the following: 

* anxiety and depression * executive functioning deficits * ADHD * social and relationship weakness * unresolved trauma * diminished self-esteem * difficulties at home &/or family * experimentation w/ alcohol and drugs * oppositional attitudes * screen dependence/overuse * identity and developmental issues * academic deficits (& above average IQ) * lack of motivation.

Founded with one singular intention: to focus on the unique needs of the individual student while providing the most state-of-the-art, evidence-based treatment and academic program in the country. Gateway's on-site owners remain committed to this intention by actively engaging in day-to-day operations and by incorporating current clinical and academic research. With a fully accredited school, Special Education accommodations, and integrated tech literacy/healthy screen management.
