A Different Lens Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, NCC
If you've spent years being the person who holds everything together, you're probably very good at looking fine. Underneath, it can feel like running a marathon every day just to keep up with things other people seem to do without thinking. Maybe you've been treated for anxiety for a long time and still sense that something is missing from the picture.
I work with adults who are starting to wonder whether ADHD is part of their story, and with those who already know and are tired of advice that boils down to "be more organized." I'm ADHD-certified, I have ADHD myself, and I've spent years working in healthcare, so I know both the clinical side and what it's like to live it. My goal is to help you make sense of your patterns without shame, and to find ways of working with your brain that last longer than one good week.

Michele Rosa Kratochvil
Counselor/Therapist, MA,LMHC,NCC,LMT
I help clients identify what they are wanting through clarification of what they are thinking, feeling and doing.
I assist clients in viewing things from different perspectives and seek out options that might have been hidden previously.
I work from a wholistic perspective and look to support clients as they challenge belief systems and patterns of behaviors.
I am also open to addressing the Christian perspective as many of the answers we seek cannot be viewed simply from a human lens and needs to be addressed from the spiritual realm.

Peter Linden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Gestalt Therapist
As an AuDHD man with learning disabilities, I had an experience growing up that is all too familiar within 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, I found my way to a couples therapist in 2014. There, I discovered Gestalt therapy while experiencing the gifts of love, kindness, safety, acceptance, curiosity, and flow. Through embodied awareness and responding, rather than reacting, I came to trust my innate power, humanity, body, and the certainty of the earth.
In 2019, I began studying Gestalt therapy following the unexpected end of my marriage. Amidst despair, sorrow, sadness, loneliness, and grief, I discovered a vehicle that challenged me in all domains of existence. Here, I grieved, faced impermanence, and gradually co-created the scaffolding from which I could emerge in a more embodied way as an AuDHD man, human being, and partner.
As I found life again, I became increasingly aware of the profound suffering experienced by neurodivergent people. Endless demands that we grind away in search of acceptance, love, and certainty left us adrift, performing, deadened, and increasingly separate in an ableist world.
Through Gestalt therapy, I continued to experience connectedness, belonging, compassion, the wonder of curiosity, and love itself. I finally found spontaneity, playfulness, and excitement in relation to myself, other people, and even existence itself.
With this mission, I founded Welcome Home Healing in 2023. Since then, I have had the honor of joining people as they awaken, live, and emerge into their humanity within the unfolding now.

Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.
