Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

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.

Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
I believe that healing isn’t about being 'fixed'; it’s about rediscovering the person you were before challenges told you who to be. My practice is built on the belief that a safe, non-judgmental space is the ultimate catalyst for change. Here, we move at your pace, trading 'shoulds' for self-compassion. Together, we’ll navigate your unique story with a blend of professional expertise and genuine human connection, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and empowered to lead a more authentic life. Your journey will not be alone.

Cordell Pearson
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LPC, NCC
When life’s experiences leave you feeling unsettled or disconnected from yourself, it can be hard to know where to turn. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore what’s happening inside with honesty and without pressure. Together, we slow things down, listen to the parts of you that have been working so hard, and help them find relief. I blend approaches like EMDR, DBR, and parts work to support meaningful, sustainable change.
If you’re longing for more ease, clarity, and emotional balance, I’m here to walk with you as you rediscover your own inner steadiness.

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.
