Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Forgiveness shouldn't be forced. Only you can know if and when you're ready to forgive. Remember that the act of forgiveness is not about the other person but, instead, for yourself. To forgive others doesn't equate to reconciliation, nor does it mean to condone. It's meant to release your resentment and permit you to reclaim your life.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Therapy can serve as a safe space to explore your feelings of resentment and forgiveness. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Vilma Madramootoo , Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Holistic Health Practitioner, Health & Wellness Coach
I help you break down the barriers of Forgiveness by offering focused-based techniques. Forgiveness means different things to different people. Sometimes it's a decision of "letting go" of toxic feelings that keep you stuck or trapped with an unpleasant experience or person. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you or making up with the person who caused the harm. Forgiveness helps you to go on with your life in a healthier way. Forgiving yourself is the first step of Self-love, Self-care, and Self-acceptance.

Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Forgiveness is a deeply personal journey and can be a powerful tool for healing. However, it's important to recognize that forgiveness is not always necessary and it does not excuse or condone the actions of those who have hurt you. Sometimes, the most compassionate choice is to focus on your own healing and boundaries without feeling pressured to forgive. Forgiveness, when it feels right, can help release the hold that pain has on your heart, but it is not a requirement for your healing or peace. You deserve to honor your feelings and take the steps that are best for your well-being. Remember, your journey is unique, and it's okay to prioritize your needs and healing above all else.

Forgiveness is centred in our heart space. Learning to forgive others is a gift we give to ourselves. Get to know the resistance that keeps you from gifting yourself with forgiveness.
