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.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
"Revenge is a kiss. This time I won't miss." That's only in James Bond's movies. When you forgive, you feel peace and you can start again. I will help you forgive and heal by hypnotherapy. Later, I will help you become a new you. Life is too short to lead an unforgiving life.
Hypnotherapy is considered an effective tool for facilitating forgiveness by addressing subconscious emotional baggage and releasing deeply held resentment or anger. It helps individuals move past lingering negativity, offering techniques to process pain, reduce self-criticism, and foster self-compassion and forgive whoever hurt you.

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. 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.
