The Gateway Institute Announces New Facility in the San Francisco Bay Area

The Gateway Institute has officially announced the launch of its latest treatment facility, a new anxiety treatment center located in Oakland, California. The new facility will offer leading-edge treatment for OCD and anxiety conditions to patients in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Gateway Institute helps patients overcome obsessive-compulsive and anxiety-related disorders and offers services to both adults and children. The Institute ensures that every client receives one-on-one care through an individualized care plan tailored to his or her needs and goals. Treatment options will include weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions. The Institute also offers a nationally recognized, 3-week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) option for OCD.

Quoting a recent client, “the staff at Gateway seemed like the first and only people in my entire life who seemed to really understand exactly what OCD was and what I have been struggling with, how to combat it, and provided me the tools to manage my condition effectively to live a fulfilling life.”

In addition to locations in Costa Mesa, CA, and Scottsdale, AZ, the new San Francisco Bay Gateway Institute will be their third location offering treatment. Now, patients in the San Francisco Bay Area can enjoy direct access to evidence based treatment for OCD. “As the founder and director of The Gateway Institute, we are proud to bring our nationally recognized intensive outpatient program for obsessive-compulsive and anxiety-related disorders right here in the San Francisco Bay Area,” said Jim Sterner, LMFT.

Conditions treated at The Gateway Institute include OCD, panic disorder, anxiety attacks and agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder, PTSD, body-focused repetitive behaviors (trichotillomania and skin-picking), perfectionism, and hoarding. The Gateway Institute’s highly qualified staff uses gold-standard, evidence-based treatment methods, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), exposure therapy (ET), and mindfulness-based behavioral therapy (MBBT).

The Gateway Institute’s new location is based in Oakland and serves Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties. The new anxiety treatment center is now accepting new patients. Appointments can be scheduled by contacting The Gateway Institute. More information can be found at https://www.gatewayocd.com.
