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.

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.

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.

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.

I help clients explore forgiveness in a thoughtful, non-pressured way. Therapy focuses on emotional processing, boundaries, and meaning-making, rather than forcing resolution before safety and clarity are established.

Forgiveness is not about excusing or forgetting the pain inflicted, rather, it is a process of liberation that allows you to release the burdens of resentment and anger. Through compassionate dialogue and evidenced-based techniques we will work together to understand the impact of your experiences, navigate your feelings, and develop healthier perspectives. My goal is to empower you to embrace forgiveness as a tool for emotional freedmen helping you cultivate peace, resilience, and positive relationships moving forward.

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.

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.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
