Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
A friend of mine once said that not forgiving is like holding hot coals in your hands, threatening to throw them at someone, when all you get is burned hands -- better to drop the coals, through forgiveness, than keep getting burned. Forgiveness is for you, not the other person. It relieves you of the burden of carrying anger and resentment toward another, or even yourself. Forgiving yourself or another person can be very healing. Their response to you forgiving them can be a bonus, but it isn't necessary, as proven by the fact that we can forgive people who are no longer alive.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, C-IAYT
At Wildflower Therapy Group, we support clients in exploring forgiveness in a way that feels safe, honest, and self-honoring.

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.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I approach forgiveness as a personal, often complex process, not a requirement or an endpoint of healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients clarify what forgiveness means to them, if at all, while prioritizing boundaries, self-respect, and emotional safety.

How to let go, move on, accept, surrender, be at peace, break free, FORGIVE! Forgiveness is an easy word to say and a difficult concept to master. But difficult is not the same as impossible!

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.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are exploring forgiveness after experiences of betrayal, rejection, or harm. This includes people healing from infidelity as well as LGBTQ individuals who have experienced judgment, abandonment, or hurt within families, relationships, or communities. Forgiveness can be a complex and deeply personal process, and it does not mean excusing behavior, forgetting what happened, or rushing toward reconciliation.
In therapy, we focus on helping you clarify what forgiveness means to you and whether it is part of your healing process. This may include working through anger, grief, shame, or resentment, while also strengthening boundaries and self respect. For some people, forgiveness involves repairing a relationship. For others, it is about releasing the emotional hold of past harm so they can move forward with greater freedom.
My role is to support you in making thoughtful and self honoring choices that align with your values. Whether forgiveness becomes part of your path or not, therapy can help you regain a sense of agency, clarity, and emotional balance after painful experiences.

Laurie Moore
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.

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.

Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
There has been a great deal written on forgiveness and your desire to move towards that process shows a willingness to understand what injustice you have suffered and how that pain is still being held. This work takes time to recognize the violation, the power dynamics that were and are at play, and to move towards a sense of compassion and empathy.

Through compassionate inquiry and guided techniques, we clear the heart's pathways, ensuring you create a future free from the constant burden of old wounds. True forgiveness is the path to achieving **Effortless Clarity** in the present.
