Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is one of the most complex and misunderstood processes in therapy. It isn't about excusing what happened, it's about freeing yourself from the weight of carrying it. Whether you're working through betrayal in a relationship, wounds from the past, or the quiet burden of self-blame, we create a safe space to explore what forgiveness really means and what it requires of you.

Marcelle Little
Marriage and Family Therapist, MPH, MA
Though forgiveness is a broad term, I focus more on the restoration of love, in which attention is drawn toward acceptance. When we are able to accept everything "as it is" ranging from dysfunctional family systems to toxic intimate relationships this quality restores love for our life's path. From the state of acceptance we are empowered to take action and release ourselves from the entanglement with perpetrator and allow for the responsibility to rest on them.

Forgiveness is a personal process and does not mean excusing what happened or forgetting the pain. Therapy can help you work through hurt, find peace, and find what forgiveness means to you.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Forgiveness can be one of the most freeing—but also most challenging—steps in emotional and spiritual healing. Whether you are struggling to forgive yourself or someone else, unresolved hurt can keep you trapped in anger, resentment, or shame. In therapy, we help clients gently explore the pain, understand the impact of holding onto it, and work toward releasing it in a way that honors both their feelings and God’s truth. Through faith-informed guidance and practical therapeutic tools, forgiveness counseling supports healing, emotional freedom, and restoration—helping you experience peace, wholeness, and healthier relationships.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
The real purpose of forgiveness is to protect your own emotional and physical health by freeing you from anger, stress and negative thinking. It is more for you than it is for anyone else, and has nothing to do with regarding what happened as okay. You can still regret, disapprove of or feel devastated by what happened. And you can create the boundaries that are necessary for you to thrive and avoid further suffering. Forgiveness involves establishing a sense of peace and radical acceptance, acknowledging that past unjust events are unchangeable. And this frees you to move forward into new chapters and experiences. Self-forgiveness can free you from pointless persistent guilt and self-loathing. Forgiveness towards others can make relationship repair possible, if that is something you choose. More importantly it can limit the ongoing harm done to you by holding onto anger, resentfulness or guilt and replaying painful memories. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns, anger, trauma and pain, and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Forgiveness is not simple and often we realize that it's not about someone’s harmful behavior; it’s about our own relationship with our past. When we begin the work of forgiveness, it is primarily a practice for ourselves.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Forgiveness is not forced positivity — it’s a process. Together we explore hurt, accountability, and boundaries so that release becomes empowering, not self-abandoning. We always start with the self.

Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
You write 7 letters to your conflict partner (even if he has already died) Each letter has a different topic.
In no case are the letters intended for the addressee or the writing of this letter to be mentioned!
On the day you come to our session, read the letters to me. Even twice! I do my energetic work. Then you burn the seven letters ritually, e.g. outside in the park and let the ashes flow away from the stream to the river ...
You should NOT have any copies, and if you do you should definitely burn this one.
I will explain everything and send you the sample.
With this method you will soon lose your anger, your sadness and can breathe again!

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PhD, IFS, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR, Cyclical Pain Repatterning, Somatic, Expressive Arts
Forgiveness is a great theory but can often be a challenging reality. You may feel enraged for understandable reasons. When we arrive in real forgiveness we feel liberated. But this takes guidance and good tools. Forcing it only leads to more anger. With a safe place to be heard and heal, you will eventually experience enjoyable energy for life. You will create positive experiences and the pain that was trapping you will be erased. Get help to turn a concept into an actual experience so your life can feel much better.
