Getting to know Peter Linden
Growing up with learning disabilities, I had an experience that is all too familiar for the neurodivergent community. Often feeling misunderstood and out of place, I was faced with indifference, ignorance, neglect, gaslighting, shame, and the assumption that I could navigate a world that was not built for me without the support I so badly needed. Lonely, adrift, and struggling to find a sense of belonging, I was cast aside and left to fend for myself.
After a series of negative experiences with mental health resources and support, my personal journey led me to a couples therapist in 2014. There, I embarked on a journey of transformation, and I was able to see the profound impact that the right therapy relationship could have on a person. It was then that I was introduced to Gestalt psychotherapy, which I immediately connected with.
From there, I set forth on a new journey to study Gestalt psychotherapy at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy, a post-graduate training program. Pursuing this path, I have continued to experience connectedness, belonging, compassion, the wonder of curiosity, and love itself. Arriving at this place of acceptance and understanding changed everything for me. Understanding that this positive experience is not the norm for members of the neurodivergent community, I decided to dedicate myself to providing that same transformation for others.
With this mission, I founded Welcome Home Healing in 2023. Since then, I have had the pleasure of helping many clients embrace their own innate worth, gifts, individuality, and the freedom to shed their masks of shame and self doubt.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I bring authenticity, love compassion, acceptance, and a genuine interest in clients as they are. I provide and co-create a healing space, as opposed to the mechanistic medical model of the human condition that pathologies and attempts to “fix” whatever society has deemed undesirable. Together, I help to facilitate the construction of scaffolding to experience what has been deemed untouchable, unwanted, or intolerable. This scaffolding is the ground for the exploration of existence itself, unfolding like an artist expressing their life on canvas. Basically, I will be a part of your lived experience, helping you become the artist of your life.
Humans do not have to live in isolation from others and the universe itself. Growth and healing lie in what is, not the familiar cyclical narrative. I would honored to work with you moving from the “Grand Illusion” into the excitement, power, and wonder of novelty. together we shall dance, creating beauty, a holding space, and experience love itself. Perhaps we’ll witness St. Elmo’s Fire.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I practice gestalt psychotherapy, which is a form of therapy based in the present moment. In a session, I will bring awareness to emergent feelings, sensations, somatic expressions, and shifts in energy through experiments. Experiments are co-created, with the goal of deepening whatever it is that you are experiencing. Ideally, your old self will be shed as you emerge anew.
