--- Quote from: "Redditorsubmod" ---Is this the Gateway that Matthew Woolley, PhD is associated with?

There is no mention of him on their website, nor on Struggling Teens. But that doesn't necessarily rule out Gateway Academy's making use of Dr. Woolley's services as an "independent mental health professional."
Fwiw, there *is* a Dr. Matthew Woolley, psychologist, currently practicing in the Salt Lake City area. He even has a website:
Ask Dr. Matt Woolley
[/list]
Hi, I'm Dr. Matt Woolley, a clinical psychologist practicing in Salt Lake City, Utah. I'm an assistant professor in the department of Psychiatry at the University of Utah and I operate a private practice as well. I have opened this website in an effort to reach more people and answer more questions about many of the common concerns we have for ourselves and our families. In the past you may have heard me on the radio or attended one of my community lectures, but have you been able to ask that question that's been on your mind?
Concerns about daily life, as well as bigger issues, often go unasked and unanswered, but they don't have to.
There are answers, let me help you find them.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Dr. Matt[/list][/size]

=> Does Gateway Academy ever make use of "psychological services, including individual and family therapy and therapy and psychological assessment to children, adolescents, and young adults and their families on an outpatient basis" from the University of Utah's Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Clinic?
=> And, for that matter, does Gateway Academy ever make use of "psychological services, including individual and family therapy and psychological assessment to children, adolescents, and adults in an inpatient psychiatric hospital on an as needed basis" from the University of Utah's University Neuropsychiatric Institute?
Redditorsubmod:
It is my understanding that Gateway does not have any employed PhD psychologists. I understand they refer the parents of students outside for psychologists.
For a while, Jeff Hintze was an independent contractor with Gateway. Dr. Hintze had a Ph.D. in Psychology, but it was the wrong type of degree to allow him to be licensed as a psychologist in Utah. He was licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist. That has been a long time ago. I think he was fired by Gateway two or three years ago.
At least a couple of the owners of Gateway are LCSWs. The kids all laughed about them being given peanut butter sandwiches to eat while the owners were driving porsches. They thought it was funny that the porsches would disappear when a parent visit was scheduled.

DO NOT SEND YOUR SON HERE!!!!
I am another gateway survivor, and i can tell you that this place is psychologically traumatizing.
The staff and therapists use a harsh, shock therapy approach.
There is no love here, no care, and horrible individual food policies to accommodate dietary needs.
The verbal blackmail, brainwashing, extortion and pontificating that goes on here on a daily basis is nauseating.
The mornings here send shivers, the nights end in sweat and frustration from being misunderstood, and degraded.
Finally,
One of the students that i was in gateway academy with shot himself in the head a few weeks after getting out of gateway.
Please save your child from this Nazi infested holocaust.
Thanks & Good Luck,
Y
