Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Forgiveness is one of the most misused words in the language. It gets deployed as a demand — as though the person who was hurt owes the one who hurt them a resolution. Real forgiveness, when it comes, is not a decision. It is something that happens when a person has been allowed to fully inhabit their anger, their grief, the reality of what was taken. You cannot skip to the end. The therapeutic work is in everything that comes before — the parts no one wants to stay with.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals approach forgiveness with care—honoring both what was hurt and what must be protected. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we study what is happening above and beneath the surface, give language to injury and accountability, and translate that clarity into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less bitterness and self-criticism, more freedom and choice, and relationships that can repair with trust and self-respect intact.

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.

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
We often carry a lot of resentment that is hard to know what to do with. We can work to uncover the ways in which we refuse to let go of certain feelings and resentments that, in the end, really just hurt us.

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.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are carrying pain, anger, guilt, or unfinished emotional business from relationships that have been complicated or hurtful, including their relationship with themselves. Forgiveness is often misunderstood as excusing harm, minimizing what happened, or reconciling with someone who hurt you. In reality, many people come to therapy because they want relief from the internal weight of what happened and from the way they speak to themselves about it, not because they want to repair the relationship or “move on” before they are ready. You may feel torn between what you think you are supposed to feel and what you actually feel, or caught between loyalty, resentment, grief, and self‑protection. You might also feel stuck in self‑blame, replaying past choices and wishing you had done things differently.
People often seek this kind of work after emotional abuse, betrayal, estrangement, family conflict, or long histories of being the one who absorbs more than their share. These experiences can leave you questioning your reactions, doubting your worth, or feeling responsible for keeping the peace even when it costs you. Over time, the pressure to forgive, from others or from yourself, can create even more confusion, shame, and exhaustion.
In our work together, forgiveness is not a requirement or a destination. I am open to whatever feels most honest and supportive for you, whether that eventually includes forgiveness or not. The focus is on self‑forgiveness and inner relief. We explore what happened with clarity and compassion, how it has shaped your sense of self, and what you have been carrying alone. We make space for the parts of you that still feel hurt, protective, angry, or loyal, and the parts that long for softness and rest. The intention is to help you find a steadier, kinder way of relating to your own story, one that feels honest, grounded, and not dictated by pressure from others. If forgiveness, toward yourself or someone else, becomes part of that process, it can emerge naturally from understanding and self‑respect, not obligation.

Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
"Forgiveness Equals Freedom". Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the past — it’s about freeing yourself from it. Holding on to pain keeps you chained to what hurt you, but letting go invites peace, healing, and renewal. True forgiveness doesn’t say, “It was okay.” It says, “I’m ready to move forward.” Through faith, courage, and compassion, you can release resentment and reclaim your joy. God’s grace reminds us that we are forgiven so we can forgive — not because others deserve it, but because we deserve peace. Forgiveness is the bridge between pain and freedom — and it begins with your choice today.

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.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Forgiveness is about loss and grief. Often people want to approach this as if it's just something we can do and move on. In therapy you'll learn what is keeping you stuck, how to talk about what you lost, and ways to begin moving though those difficult feelings.
