About Gateway Counseling
Gateway Counseling in Pocatello, Idaho, specializes in providing talking therapies and other evidence-based treatments to help clients struggling to cope with behavioral and mental health issues, such as substance use disorder. What’s special about Gateway Counseling is that they also provide clients with opportunities to learn and grow so they can increase their chances of successful recovery outcomes and a more fulfilling life overall.
Convenient Outpatient Services
They offer their services in an outpatient setting, which is useful for clients with work and family commitments that would otherwise prevent them from seeking treatment. As substance use often has its roots in trauma, I appreciate that Gateway offers trauma-informed treatment, which helps clients heal in a safe and empowering environment. Substance abuse counseling is available in individual and group settings and uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches, known to help clients on their road to recovery.
Trauma-Informed Treatment
The primary standout of Gateway Counseling is that they offer EMDR, otherwise known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is an evidence-based treatment that helps people resolve unprocessed trauma. During EDMR, the client focuses briefly on their trauma memory while also experiencing bilateral stimulation, typically in eye movements, which is associated with reducing the vividness and emotional intensity of the trauma memories.
The main benefit of EDMR is that it offers a ‘less invasive’ approach to processing distressing events, while still relieving the symptoms of trauma that can fuel substance use, such as flashbacks, triggering thoughts, anxiety, or depression. Plus, it has been shown to work with both adult and childhood trauma, medical trauma, and complex trauma.

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a form of psychotherapy commonly used in addiction recovery. Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), moral reconation therapy (MRT) helps clients recognize unhealthy and/or harmful thought patterns and to replace them with more positive and productive ones.
