Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
It is so easy to hold on to anger, resentment, self-criticism, rage, guilt, shame, and negative views of ourselves and others, yet all the research suggests that letting go and engaging in forgiveness is the healthiest solution for the one who forgives. It is hard to learn to forgive the self and others, but I believe we are all capable of working through that which keeps us stuck in the painful feelings and moving to a place of forgiveness.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.

At the core forgiveness is a choice. That said, many persons struggle for many years in some instances to forgive persons who have violated, misused and abused them physically, emotionally and psychologically. Using myriad life experience skills that I have learn from over the years, I will coach you how best to arrive at a place of forgiveness. It will involve revisiting your past so this makes it a tenacious and delicate process, but the good news is that you will not make this journey alone.

Mayme Siders
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
While we think of forgiveness as being about something we do for others, my experience is that it is something we most often need to do for ourselves. However, I do not think it a requirement in the process of personal growth. I would never tell someone that they should or shouldn't forgive anyone. Rather, I would work to help them to look more deeply at how they feel about the situation, help them to decide how they want to proceed, and then support them in that choice.
