Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Forgiveness is often confused with trust. Forgiveness involves giving up expectations, acceptance of the situation, and compassion for self and others.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Remember that the first inherent step of forgiveness is acknowledging that there is hurt and pain. We do not always realize that this may be the biggest hurdle to forgiveness. Sure our minds may tell us stories about that pain, but that is a way to avoid feeling it. Once we feel secure and strong enough to feel our pain we will let it go. Forgiveness is the catalyst for pain releasing, leaving wisdom in its place. When we forgive, we do not go back; we step forward into that wisdom and strength.

Forgiveness can be one of the most difficult—and freeing—parts of healing. I help clients process hurt, anger, and betrayal at their own pace, exploring what forgiveness truly means while honoring boundaries, emotional safety, and personal values.

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.

Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Forgiveness can feel complicated, especially when you’ve been deeply hurt. It’s not about minimizing what happened or forcing yourself to “get over it.” In therapy, we explore what forgiveness means to you and how to release the emotional weight in a way that supports your healing and growth.

Alicia Stalker-Gallichio LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, SAP
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.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In helping patients struggling with forgiveness, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their feelings and experiences. Through therapy, we work together to understand the root causes of their struggles with forgiveness, such as past traumas or deeply held beliefs. I offer techniques and strategies to help them process their emotions, including mindfulness, journaling, and guided imagery. We also explore the concept of empathy, helping patients understand the perspective of the person who wronged them. Together, we identify and challenge any barriers to forgiveness, such as resentment or fear of vulnerability. My goal is to empower patients to find their own path to forgiveness, whether it involves reconciliation or simply letting go of negative emotions and moving forward with their lives.

Dr. Evelyn Comber
Psychologist, L.C.P.C., Ph.D., M.A., M.P.C., M.H.S., B.G.S.
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as something we do for someone else. It's not-it is for us. And there is much more to it than just saying "I forgive them." Call to talk over what, who, and why you want to forgive.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unforgiveness keeps the old identity running. Resentment, guilt, and unresolved hurt aren't just emotional they're wired into your nervous system and show up in how you perform, lead, and relate. Through Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy, I work at the subconscious level to neutralize the emotional charge attached to past events, freeing up the mental bandwidth high performers need to operate at full capacity.
