Gateway Wellness Associates, LLC
Owner/Founder
When I started Gateway Wellness Associates, my goal was to create a beautiful and comfortable space where wellness professionals could feel safe to create a practice that sustains them and serves the community of clients that inspire them. I quickly realized that it is not just about the space, but about intentionally building a community of people within that space that support, validate, challenge, listen, share and respect one another.
Gateway Wellness Associates was built on the belief in the gift of diverse perspective. We strive to be a place where wellness professionals of any discipline, race, gender, sexuality, religion, age, level of education or experience can find a home for their practice.
By doing so, we can learn from one another and grow in our understanding of and compassion for others. This is why we offer inclusive networking and educational opportunities, customizable work spaces, and multi-disciplinary consultation meetings.
Practice Growth Mentorship
“Because so often when we say we’re unqualified for something, what we’re really saying is that we’re too scared to try it, not that we can’t do it.”
— Jen Sincero
I hear so many therapists tell me that they just aren't cut out for private practice (but they wish they were). "I can't handle my own accounting, much less a business'. I can't do it." "Marketing just feels too icky to me. I can't do it." "Starting a private practice takes so much time and know-how and I just don't know how. I can't do it."
Be careful, you! If we said that about everything, we'd never do or learn anything. At one point in your life, you were going potty in a diaper, but you learned to use the toilet eventually (I hope). Good thing you didn't have that "can't-do-attitude" as a toddler!
Just because you don't know how to do something or never have done something, doesn't mean you can't. It just takes 3 steps:
1. Decide you want it.
2. Learn about what you don't know
3. Get support from someone who already went down that road.
I have built a successful practice from the ground up. I have studied what successful practices do and continue to do my own consulting, building my knowledge and skills, and passing them on to others. If you are looking for support in the building or strengthening of your practice, I am here to help!

Specializations: Anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), self-harm, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

About Me
Hi! I am Dr. Sindhura Saini, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist practicing in the states of Missouri and Illinois, and physically based in the city of St. Louis. I spend your session focused on you, but wanted to allow for some space to get an idea of who I am as a person, both inside and outside of this role.
I just recently started my own practice after working with St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute since 2015, most recently as their medical director. I left to offer a more comfortable environment to provide care, one where I was involved in almost all layers of the patients experience with my practice. It's been about six months and I really have enjoyed this new venture.
I have a real passion for psychiatry and honestly, I enjoy what I do. I feel very lucky to be able to sit with people and help them work through any issues. The outpatient setting has really allowed me to follow some patients for years, and really see growth over that time span. I am continually amazed at how people can change and grow over time. There is nothing else I would rather do than what I do now.
Outside of this role, I am married with two children who keep us both very busy. We love exploring the area and trying new adventures. I am an embarrasingly big fan of all Bravo TV, play tennis and general love to keep busy. As being St. Louis transplants, we have grown to love our new home and look forward to watching our kids and my practice grow here.

About Me
I believe the cornerstone of therapy is a warm, collaborative, and meaningful connection in which we can explore and learn from our emotions and anxieties, receive needed support, and cultivate greater self-awareness and understanding of our life experiences and relationships. It is through this process that we can foster an upward spiral of healing and growth, and make changes that might have felt overwhelming or too difficult to do on our own.
While I work with a variety of clients and concerns, my practice is centered mainly around addressing anxiety, relationship concerns, life and health transitions (including maternal/postpartum health), as well as adolescent/young adult mental health. I also work with many seeking to better understand and overcome the often complicated influence of past experiences on their current lives. If you don't see a a concern you have listed here, reach out and we can talk about how we could work together, or I can provide you with referrals to other trusted clinicians..
I draw primarily on psychodynamic and emotion-focused approaches to provide clinical services in a down-to-earth and nonjudgmental manner. I greatly value working with individuals diverse in identity and community. I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Chapel Hill, and have completed clinical training through the UNC Department of Psychiatry Child and Adolescent Clinic, the AEDP Institute, and Postpartum Support International.

Populations Served: Adults, teens 15+
About Me
Alexander B. Rose, MD, MPHS is a forensic psychiatrist providing both clinical and medical-legal services. His approach begins by taking ample time to obtain a thorough understanding of who you are as a person from a variety of perspectives. He values making sure that every patient is informed and understands the meaning behind every diagnosis and the reasons for why certain treatments are recommended over others. If you are looking for a psychiatrist who is compassionate, takes the time for thorough patient education, and is an all around psychiatry "nerd," you’ve come to the right place.
Dr. Rose's approach begins with careful and correct diagnosis while applying an advanced knowledge of and appreciation for psychiatric nosology (the fundamental classification of disease that includes but goes beyond the DSM-5); this necessarily includes a holistic understanding of every patient's biological, psychological, social, and philosophical factors, which is then followed by judicious and appropriate use of medications and other interventions as informed by the best available research. Through a sophisticated and passionate love of psychopharmacology, he tries to use the fewest number of medications dosed as effectively as possible.
Dr. Rose has a keen interest in multiple religions and world philosophies, both theistic and atheistic. Wherever appropriate and with your permission, he prefers to speak through your personal belief system. He has enjoyed taking care of a diverse set of patients from Christians and Jews to Zoroastrians and Buddhists as well as from secular humanists and "teapot atheists" to deists and existentialists.
