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.

Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Asking for help and finding safety with support is not easy, and I honor the courage it takes to begin. I offer a deeply caring and engaged relationship where you can expect a warm, non-judgmental place to freely express yourself, making the process of psychotherapy feel less intimidating. Our work together is a sacred, collaborative journey into the depths of your psyche, compassionately exploring unconscious patterns and shadow aspects to align you with your authentic Self and foster true spiritual wholeness.

Amy Merbaum Althoff
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA in Psychoanalysis
Life can be hard to manage. If you're dealing with relationship issues, work stress, or the pressures of everyday life, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can work together. We'll look at patterns that keep holding you back and build practical tools to help you create the life you want.
Beyond seeing individual clients, I also work with couples and groups, and I supervise other therapists and trainees in their clinical work.
I'm faculty and a Board member at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies (CMPS), a leading graduate institute in New York and the only one offering a Master's Degree in Psychoanalysis.
Whether you're looking for short-term support or long-term work, you'll find a welcoming, inclusive environment here.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck — in relationships that don't work, careers that feel hollow, or patterns they can't seem to escape no matter how hard they try. As a Licensed Psychoanalyst with over 20 years of experience, I offer a different kind of therapy: one that goes beneath the surface to understand the unconscious forces that shape your choices and experiences.
Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what life throws your way, and why certain patterns keep repeating — and what you can do to change them. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I believe that psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to examine your life story and in the process, gain new perspective and insight to re-write it and create a new narrative. While you may come to therapy with a problem to explore and address, I will also help you identify your personal character strengths and ways to nurture them, in order to support your personal growth and achieve your goals. I am a warm and supportive psychotherapist with an eclectic therapuetic approach, using both Western evidence based interventions as well as Eastern treatment approaches to help promote your healing and growth. I believe that collaboration, openness, curiosity and humor are key ingredients to a successful therapeutic experience. Psychotherapy is an adventure and I look forward to walking by your side on your chosen journey.

Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Does the past still haunt you? Are you stuck thinking about a difficult experience, a relationship, a memory? Past Traumatic experiences and painful relationships can steal the joy out of life. So can negative self-talk. I can help you live more in the present and look positively towards the future. I bring over 15 years of clinical experience into my virtual and in person practices. I integrate both EMDR and psychodynamic therapy, two therapy approaches that I am certified in. I work with STAIR-NST as well, an approach that integrates both cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment theory. Don’t wait any longer to start feeling better. Let’s begin this journey together.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.
