I’ve been working with Jamie for about 9 months and he’s unlocked doors of new understanding and ways of approaching my life that I struggled to get to on my own. He’s a kind and active listener. I’m honestly shocked at how many details he recalls from past sessions and ties it back into the current topic. He’s very careful with how he digs - letting me set the boundaries for that but also knowing when the right time is to push further. Genuinely appreciate him as a therapist. He’s seriously great at this.

Finding a therapist you like can be an overwhelming challenge, I also believe finding a therapist you can trust is that much harder.

From the start GTS has been incredibly helpful and more than accommodating, whether it’s your first phone call with Debbie or having an appointment with a clinician (everyone really has your best in mind).

And as a result of starting to work with Jamie I have another highlight to add as I reflect back on this year.

There’s nothing better than feeling safe while being vulnerable in therapy so a special thank you for Jamie and the rest of GTS to be able to provide that for so many people

I had the pleasure of working with Christina Bradley for over two years. She was by far the most caring, compassionate, and patient therapists I’ve ever met. I highly recommend Christina!

I cannot say enough about the care and support my daughter has received from Gateway to Wellness, and in particular, her therapist Antoinette, and practice manager, Debbie. Debbie has been instrumental in helping us navigate through the entire process from picking a therapist to match my daughter’s needs to supporting and navigating thorough insurance challenges.
Finding a therapist who truly understands who my daughter is and how to best treat her has been a game changer! Antoinette has created a safe, non-judgmental space where my daughter finally feels heard and understood . Her compassionate and straight forward approach along with her dedication has enabled my daughter to be successful in life while other therapists made us doubt that this was possible.

The provider’s patience, empathy, and consistent encouragement has been a source of strength for our family as well as their genuine belief in my daughter’s ability to overcome life’s struggles.

I wholeheartedly recommend Gateway to Wellness to anyone seeking help with mental health challenges. I cannot thank them enough for getting us to a place we never thought was possible!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Antoinette. We considered ourselves lucky to find that her qualifications and range of experience dovetailed perfectly with the issues we were dealing with at the time. Her compassion and empathy was matched by her ability to grasp the core of our dilemma and help us understand what we could do to improve our relationship with each other, and with our son. We're very grateful to have worked with her.

I started seeing Antoinette Bonafede in January 2021 and was a client for almost 3 years. In my 10ish years of seeing therapists across different modalities, Antoinette was by far one of the best at what she does and always went above and beyond. One of the most telling indicators of her professionalism and genuine desire to help her clients succeed is when I told her I thought it was time for me to see a new therapist that was specialized in a different and niche area. Her support through the transition truly solidified her dedication to the purpose of her career, not the business aspect of it.

The entire practice is incredibly well-run and personable, encouraging a holistic approach to mental health. It truly felt like a 'safe space.' I would highly recommend this practice to anyone, but especially for those on the fence or hesitant about taking this step in their mental wellness journey.

John is a true master of his craft and I feel very lucky to have been introduced to him ~6 months ago. We've made tremendous progress on topics big and small and that's a testament to his technique and ability to create safety very early in our conversations. Even some of the marginal changes and improvements we've made have unlocked hidden gold and without his guidance, those would still be left undiscovered. Looking forward to the road ahead with him and would highly recommend for individuals of all ages and levels of experience with therapy.

Gateway to Solutions is the most professional, down-to-earth practice I've ever experienced. John is so kind and warm and his approach to matching patients to their providers is perfect--he really takes his time to get to know you to know exactly the type of therapy and person will work best for your unique situation.

I couldn't say better things about Antoinette Bonafede--she has the most incredible way of asking the right questions to help you come to conclusions on your own while also being unafraid to check your behavior/thoughts/emotions with grace. She has changed my life for the better and I couldn't be more grateful for her guidance/teaching/patience. You'd be doing yourself the biggest favor by adding her practice into your own wellness journey.
