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.

I understand that seeking out a mental health professional can be a difficult and sometimes intimidating step, and I’m committed to making the process as comfortable and supportive as possible. My goal is to provide confidential, compassionate care while paying close attention to your unique needs and experiences, ensuring that our work together feels personal, meaningful, and effective.
I’m a Licensed Psychologist (NJ #6032) with a B.A. in Psychology from Rutgers University and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Capella University. Over the years, I’ve worked in both private practice and community mental health settings, supporting individuals through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, traumatic brain injury, and involvement with child protective services.
My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with a holistic perspective that considers the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I believe in creating a safe, empathetic space where you can process, heal, and grow because your mental and emotional wellbeing deserves thoughtful, individualized care.

Living with intrusive thoughts, constant mental noise, compulsive behaviors, or unresolved pain can make it feel like you’re trapped in patterns you can’t escape.
