Forgiveness therapists in Albemarle, North Carolina NC
Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Forgiveness is about loss and grief. Often people want to approach this as if it's just something we can do and move on. In therapy you'll learn what is keeping you stuck, how to talk about what you lost, and ways to begin moving though those difficult feelings.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I delve into the tender yet powerful realm of forgiveness. Understanding that forgiveness is often a journey of the heart fraught with complex emotions, I offer a compassionate and empathic space for clients. Together, we gently navigate the pain of past hurts, betrayal, and disappointment. My approach aims to guide clients towards releasing the burdens of resentment and anger, unlocking a path to healing and inner peace. It’s a transformative process, fostering self-compassion and the strength to forgive others, and perhaps most importantly, oneself. This journey is about rekindling a sense of freedom and lightness, opening the heart to the possibilities of renewed connections and a future unshackled from the past.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is not a destination, but a place to visit and spend time. When people are betrayed either by a friend, family member, romantic partner, or co-worker, the hurt is profound. Sometimes, as with someone who has passed, there is no opportunity to gain closure. Forgiveness work is about exploring your feelings, but also learning skills you can use to work through the pain and get to a place of acceptance.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach forgiveness as a central aspect of healing, drawing upon psychological insights and Christian teachings. Recognizing forgiveness as a transformative and freeing process, I integrate biblical principles on forgiveness, love, and grace into therapy sessions. Emphasizing the example of Christ's forgiveness, I encourage clients to explore their faith and find strength in extending forgiveness to others and themselves. The therapeutic process may involve prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on the importance of forgiveness in the Christian journey. I guide individuals in understanding the relational and emotional benefits of forgiveness while addressing any barriers that may hinder the process. This integrative approach seeks to help clients navigate the complexities of forgiveness, fostering emotional healing and reconciliation within the framework of their Christian beliefs.
