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.

Marc Feinberg
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.

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.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
Within the Black prophetic tradition, Forgiveness is a tool for the internal liberation of the survivor, not an obligation to the harmer. We explore how to release the "head trash" of past trauma so it no longer dictates your future autonomy. In this practice, we view the choice to forgive as a radical act of self-reclamation.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is not a destination, but a place to visit and spend time. When people are betrayed either by a friend, family member, romantic partner, or co-worker, the hurt is profound. Sometimes, as with someone who has passed, there is no opportunity to gain closure. Forgiveness work is about exploring your feelings, but also learning skills you can use to work through the pain and get to a place of acceptance.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist, my approach to treating forgiveness is grounded in understanding its profound impact on mental health and well-being. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and narrative therapy, I guide individuals in exploring the complex emotions and beliefs surrounding forgiveness. By facilitating a process of self-reflection, empathy-building, and perspective-taking, I help clients cultivate compassion for themselves and others involved in the situation. Additionally, I assist individuals in setting boundaries, practicing assertiveness, and letting go of resentment to promote healing and release emotional burdens. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace forgiveness as a transformative process that fosters personal growth, resilience, and inner peace.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anger and depression may stem from lack of forgiveness of either others or self. We all have been hurt and may have difficulty with forgiving the unforgivable. We often forget that we all make mistakes and no human is perfect. Forgiveness can be difficult but is essential for healing as an individual and in relationships. Lets work on helping you to be able to give grace to others and yourself, so you can work on healing.

Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Forgiveness counseling is a transformative process that facilitates the release of resentment, anger, and hurt that often maintains a hold on one's emotional well-being. Our services in this area focus on assisting clients as they navigate the complex path toward forgiving others and, equally importantly, themselves. This journey can pave the way for healing, inner peace, and the restoration of fractured relationships.
Fostering Compassion and Peace Through Forgiveness
* Understanding Forgiveness: We begin by exploring the true meaning of forgiveness, debunking myths, and setting realistic expectations about what forgiveness does and does not entail.
* Addressing Emotional Pain: A safe and empathetic space for clients to express and work through the emotional pain that has inhibited their ability to forgive, fostering a deeper understanding of their own feelings and experiences.
* Personal Empowerment: Forgiveness is framed as a choice and an act of personal empowerment, rather than a sign of weakness or an obligation to others.
* Letting Go of Harmful Attachments: Counseling focuses on helping individuals let go of negative attachments to past events and the people who have caused them harm, enabling them to reclaim their mental and emotional freedom.
* Reconciliation versus Release: We help clients discern between reconciliation—a restored relationship with the one who wronged them—and release, which is to free oneself from the burden of unresolved hurt.
Goals of Forgiveness Counseling
Our forgiveness counseling aims to assist clients in:
* Processing and Accepting Hurtful Events: Acknowledge and accept the reality of what happened in order to move forward.
* Liberating from the Past: Break free from the anchor of past hurts that impede current happiness and emotional wellness.
* Enhancing Personal Growth: Use the process of forgiveness as a catalyst for personal growth and self-improvement.
* Healing Emotional Wounds: Begin to heal the emotional wounds inflicted by others or oneself.
* Restoring Inner Peace: Achieving a sense of inner peace, regardless of whether the relationship with the offender is reconciled.
The act of forgiveness can be a profoundly liberating experience that goes far beyond mending relationships with others—it's an act of healing for oneself. Our skilled therapists are dedicated to guiding you through the emotional complexities of forgiveness, empowering you to let go of the past and embrace a more peaceful, fulfilling future. Connect with us to explore how forgiveness counseling can be a vital step in your personal journey of healing and growth.
