Gateway Ministries is concerned
with the wellbeing of individuals. We believe individuals are unique
and are made in the image of the Creator, God and it is His desire for
all of us to be in good health. Since human beings were made as a multi-dimensional being, it seems fitting to say that our Creator, God, desires
us to experience good health: emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Furthermore,
there are unseen life challenges, events and circumstances such as
losses, bereavement, and family separation that may arise and throw us
off guard. At times, these unseen events may have a negative impact on
our emotional, physical, spiritual and social lives. Consequently,
psychological issues such as anger, anxiety, depression and stress
create difficulties, to the point that we are unable to cope
effectively, hence the need to seek for help.
At Gateways Ministries we also conduct food therapy through
plant-based diet cooking demo lessons to help educate and teach
clients about foods that contain nutritional properties and their
benefits. Examples of these are Omega 3, linolenic acid and other
nutritional health properties that may enhance the brain function.
In addition, Gateway Ministries offers short and long term, face-to-face therapy
sessions in a confidential manner to provide a sense of safety for
clients. We also offer group therapy sessions to encourage clients.
We
believe everyone was made special and is unique in relation to their
values and beliefs. So we give everyone an equal opportunity to express
their feelings and issues on a deeper level in a non-judgemental and
accepting way. We create a warm and trustworthy relationship by working
together to give you the support you need to be able to deepen your
understanding of your own issues and concerns. Hence, in working
together, you may discover your needs so you can begin to think about
making choices, how you can take small steps of what you can do
differently to manage difficulties and concerns, and also to achieve your
goals in order to take control of your life.
We try not to fit clients into a particular approach, but rather use what fits the clients in order to meet their needs.
