Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is not a simple decision, and it does not mean excusing what happened. We can take a thoughtful approach that respects your values and your boundaries. Sometimes the goal is forgiveness, and sometimes it is clarity and release. Either way, the work is about loosening the hold of the past so you can move forward with more peace and self-respect.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.

Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
"Myself, or someone else?" Good question. Maybe it's both. How do I know when I forgive...what if I cannot forgive? I'm hear to tell you that it's a process and neither is right or wrong.

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.

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.

Forgiveness is a deeply personal process that looks different for everyone. It does not mean excusing harmful behavior or forgetting painful experiences. Whether you are struggling to forgive someone else or yourself, we help clients explore feelings of hurt, anger, guilt, and resentment while finding a path that aligns with their values, healing, and wellbeing.

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.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
It is so easy to hold on to anger, resentment, self-criticism, rage, guilt, shame, and negative views of ourselves and others, yet all the research suggests that letting go and engaging in forgiveness is the healthiest solution for the one who forgives. It is hard to learn to forgive the self and others, but I believe we are all capable of working through that which keeps us stuck in the painful feelings and moving to a place of forgiveness.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Forgiveness is often one of the most challenging aspects of healing. Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool in this process, guiding individuals through the journey of forgiving themselves and others. During hypnotherapy sessions, clients can be gently led into a state of deep relaxation where they can safely explore and release feelings of anger, resentment, and betrayal. By tapping into the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy enables individuals to confront and process painful memories without being overwhelmed.

Good Human Work
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CSAC
Forgiveness is hard even when you've experienced something less significant, and can feel unnatural when it's about something really painful. When it comes to forgiving ourselves... well, that can feel downright impossible or unacceptable. Yet, it's an important step to finding peace within ourselves and living a happier life. Working through the pain and taking steps toward forgiveness takes courage. It's easier with a therapist who can guide the way and support you through it.

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.

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.
