About Gateway House


Founded over 20 years ago as a long-term alternative to chronic hospitalization for adults with  schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Gateway House was established with a clear and compassionate mission: to offer a meaningful, long-term alternative to the cycle of chronic hospitalization. We saw the need for a space where individuals could not just stabilize, but truly thrive. Our foundation is built on the belief that with the right support, environment, and skills, individuals with mental illness can achieve lasting independence and a high quality of life.

"We envisioned a community where every resident is empowered to take control of their recovery, develop self-sufficiency, and reintegrate with confidence and purpose."



At the heart of Gateway House is our therapeutic community model. This isn't just a place to live; it's a dynamic and collaborative environment where recovery is a shared journey. In our community, residents are active participants, not passive recipients of care. This means everyone plays a role in the operation of the household—from preparing meals together to maintaining our shared spaces. This approach fosters accountability, builds social skills, and creates a genuine sense of belonging and home.

Our approach is deeply rooted in a Person-centered philosophy, inspired by the humanistic principles of Carl Rogers and Irvin Yalom. We believe that healing begins when a person feels truly seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. Our team is dedicated to providing the core conditions for growth: genuine connection, unconditional positive regard, and deep, empathic understanding. You are the author of your recovery story; we are here to provide the support, tools, and safe space for you to write it.

We believe that healing happens in community. The isolation that accompanies mental illness is powerfully counteracted by the experience of belonging. Here, you will discover that you are not alone. Through a spectrum of therapeutic approaches and the daily life of the community, residents give and receive support, learn from one another's experiences, and build the social skills and confidence needed to thrive. This shared journey fosters a sense of belonging and purpose that is essential for lasting recovery.
