Dr. Sridhar Yaratha is a psychiatrist dedicated to helping people with complex mental disorders. Working at Gateway Homes in Chesterfield, Virginia, Dr. Sridhar Yaratha manages psychiatric care for patients diagnosed with illnesses like depression and bipolar disorder.
Gateway Homes was established with the guiding belief that even people with severe mental disorders can attain fulfilling lives. The facility offers residential treatment programs that care for patients with tough mental illnesses, helping them recover and achieve independent living. At Gateway Homes’ central regional program, patients stay at the Supported Living Center, a licensed facility operating 24/7 and capable of serving up to 16 people. Patients begin their stay here. After admission, they are taken through a baseline assessment before a customized treatment plan is developed. Members of the staff educate them on their conditions and work with them to ensure they take their medication and develop skills to cope with their illnesses. Classroom education, counseling, and community activities are held every week. Residents who are prepared are moved to the Gateway’s Supported Living Apartments designed to mirror life in the outside community. Patients continue to receive mental health care and are motivated to develop the social, educational, and vocational skills necessary for job placement. Afterward, Gateway ushers them into independent living as full members of the outside community. Weekly staff support is offered and patients are encouraged to keep participating in on-going rehabilitation programs on campus.
