Welcome to Gateway to Solutions
GOAL-ORIENTED PSYCHOTHERAPY, COUPLES THERAPY. CAREER COACHING, MEDIATION, FAMILY PLANNING, AND LGBTQIA+ AFFIRMATIVE THERAPY.
Now, for the first time in decades, there is a new choice, a better way to help people live and work well. The power of one. A philosophy and service delivery approach built on a simple premise: it takes a person to help a person. It’s the way GTS enables individuals, couples, families and organizations to prosper and thrive. It’s wellness in a whole new way.
How We Will Support You
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual therapy can support you in reaching goals or overcoming problems. GTS can help you understand and resolve issues in a confidential, caring and efficient manner. We will help you feel safe and supported while challenging you to grow and move past obstacles.
Couples Counseling
Figuring out what’s really going on in your relationship should be simple, but it’s not. Problems don’t just suddenly appear — they grow slowly over time, the product of small resentments and miscommunications that grow into a thick web that’s very difficult to untangle on your own. That’s where talking to the right professional can really help.
Family Therapy
Family therapy can be a wonderful experience where children and adults blossom. If there is unresolved conflict, hurt feelings, or tension in the household, psychotherapy like family therapy can help.
Group Therapy
In group therapy, approximately 6-10 individuals meet face-to-face with a trained group therapist. During the group meeting time, members decide what they want to talk about.
LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy
An LGBTQIA+ affirmative practice that understands and specializes in gender identity, sexual orientation, and minority stress theory. The team at GTS provides a positive, safe space for individuals to work through their challenges.
Premarital Counseling
Marriage is a beautiful milestone in your life. Marriage is when you wholeheartedly connect two lives into one, share what life has to offer, the good and bad, and often have children. Once you are engaged, you’re radiating with positive and happy energy envisioning your life ahead. The last thing you’re thinking of is therapy.
Family Planning
One of the most exciting times in one’s life is becoming a parent. Very few people go throughout life without some thought about what it would be like to raise a child. GTS helps an individual or couple explore what it means to become a parent. We also help understand conventional, adoption and various fertility options to having a child.
Career Coaching
Many people have given up seemingly secure banking, government jobs etc and have opted for software jobs, creative jobs and even freelance options. All you need then is a bit of courage; a dash of self-belief and some clarity of thought and you can join the band of people who have successfully changed careers.
Mediation
Divorce mediation and custody mediation typically consists of several joint meetings between spouses (or partners if you are not married). During those meetings, you and your spouse discuss the issues that need to be resolved in your case. Contact Gateway to Solution’s New York office today to schedule your consultation!

Overcoming the Emotional Hurdles of Debt
Debt isn’t just a financial burden for most; it can negatively impact your mental health and well-being. It is expected that feelings of stress, shame, anxiety, and even hopelessness often arise. This can create the sense of a never-ending cycle. However, overcoming and learning to cope with the emotional challenges of debt is just as important as tackling the financial side, understanding debt's psychological impact, and adopting strategies to manage these feelings.
