Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Forgiveness in relationships is deeply personal, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of what it should look like. In Gottman Method couples therapy, partners are supported in exploring the meaning of forgiveness within the context of their own experiences, values, boundaries, and relationship goals. Therapy provides space to process hurt, rebuild emotional safety, and strengthen trust without pressure to move faster than feels authentic or "sweep things under the rug." Whether couples are working through betrayal, repeated conflict, or emotional wounds, the focus is on fostering understanding, taking responsibility, making amends, healing, and intentional reconnection in a way that is meaningful and lasting.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
You deserve to move through resentment and hurt so you can truly feel relief, beyond just telling yourself to “let it go.” Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the past, it’s about freeing yourself from it. Using an experiential, emotion-focused approach, we'll process what’s unresolved in a safe and supportive way so you can naturally reach a place of clarity, peace, and emotional freedom.

Insight Psychological Group
Psychologist, Psy.D.s, LCSWs, LPCs, LCADCs...
In recent years, Forgiveness therapy has become an increasingly popular and increasingly researched approach to psychotherapy. Forgiveness therapy is not only applicable to situations of significant past trauma, but to many other psychological concerns as well, as learning the capacity to transcend one's rightful contentions about a world or society that has given the person far less than a fair lot in life, can free a person to start to experience pleasure and meaning once again.

ANEW Christian Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MTS, MSW, LCSW
We all experience hurt in life at the hand of others, but some of us experience devastating blows that seem to paralyze us and resurfaces over and over again. As a result we find ourselves battling unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment. Someone once said that unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Forgiveness is freeing. Through forgiveness therapy I help usher my clients down the path of healing and wholeness to freedom from the grip of unforgiveness. This freedom enables them to reclaim their power, their voice and their peace so they can move forward.

Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
we approach forgiveness as a personal and deeply intentional process—not a demand, timeline, or moral obligation. For many people, conversations about forgiveness are complicated by trauma, betrayal, family harm, or systemic injustice. Our work honors these realities while supporting clients in defining what forgiveness truly means for them.
We help individuals explore the emotional impact of hurt, resentment, and unresolved pain, while developing pathways toward release, boundary-setting, and self-compassion. Forgiveness in therapy may—or may not—include reconciliation. The focus is on restoring agency, emotional freedom, and inner peace, without minimizing harm or bypassing accountability.
Forgiveness counseling at Full Being Services is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and paced with care—supporting healing that is grounded, empowering, and aligned with your values and lived experience.

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. 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.
