Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health

Forgiveness is often less about others and more about finding peace within yourself. I help clients explore the emotions, patterns, and parts of themselves that hold onto pain, resentment, or anger.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Forgiveness is an essential part of regaining wholeness and purpose in your life. Blame can keep you stuck and feeling disempowered. This process does not mean condoning inappropriate behavior. It is meant to facilitate growth and freedom in your life.

Forgiveness
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.

Eve Angela Fritsch

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.

Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling

I think forgiveness is much harder than people believe. It may take time to process and be ok with hurt or anger that you may have felt.

Forgiveness
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.

Forgiveness
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.

Forgiveness
Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Forgiveness is about regaining trust, accepting and communicating kindness to the other, while being consistent and believing in displaying love which might have been withdrawn during those moments of uncertainty and emotional confusion. Once we begin to let go of the pain and let forgiveness into our heart, we can rediscover emotional freedom, and a peace of mind.

Forgiveness
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
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.

Forgiveness
David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
While forgiveness does not mean what happened to you in the past was ok, it can free you up from holding onto anger, resentment, or hope that interfering with living fully. Forgiveness highlights our core values that felt violated, allowing us to see other valued areas in our lives that are being neglected. It is possible to forgive while still having healthy boundaries, whether it is from your past or present.

Forgiveness
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is the glue that makes relationship possible. Without forgiveness, there is no possibility of relationship, without it there is simply the pullling away, putting up walls, and isolating. If we want to be healthy relationally, we don't have a choice, we have to live in a posture of forgiveness. It frees us from the power of that moment or event over our own life and allows us to move towards relationship with others who also engage the principle of forgiveness in their life.

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.

Forgiveness
Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing what happened. It is about releasing the burden of pain, resentment, or anger that may be holding you back. Whether you are struggling to forgive someone else or yourself, the process can feel complicated and deeply emotional.
In a safe and supportive space, I help individuals explore what forgiveness means to them, process the hurt they carry, and move toward emotional freedom at their own pace. Forgiveness is a process and can be a powerful step toward healing and peace.
If you are ready to release what no longer serves you and create space for peace and self-compassion, I invite you to get in touch.
