Peter Linden (He/Him)

I specialize in dyslexia and verbal and non-verbal learning disabilities. I approach learning disabilities from a non-medical model lens where they are primarily viewed as adaptations in response to trauma, ableism, shame, and a rigid neurotypical system.

I specialize in autism spectrum disorder 1, requiring support, which in less pathologizing langauge means anyone who is experiencing shame, fears of rejection, anxiety, difficulty connecting to people, anxiety, sensory overload, and other adaptations to the human condition. As with learning disabilities, I primarily view them as adaptations in response to trauma, ableism, shame, gaslighting, and a rigid neurotypical system that seeks to dominate and control people who are not "normal".

I specialize in all manifestations of ADHD, including ADHD, predominantly inattentive type, ADHD, hyperactive-impulsive type, and ADHD, combined type. As is the case with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorder, the three types of ADHD are primarily a response to trauma in the early environment.

Gestalt therapy is a present-oriented therapy that helps clients understand how their repetitive ways are thinking, feeling, sensing, experiencing, and communicating are getting in the way of what they want in life. As clients become more aware of what they are experiencing in the moment, they can more easily communicate their needs, develop relationships based on love, and unmask.
