Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
Forgiveness is a complex process that's often misunderstood—it's not about condoning harmful behavior but about freeing yourself from the weight of resentment. I help clients explore what forgiveness means for them personally and work through the emotional barriers that keep them stuck in anger or hurt. Through this therapeutic process, many find greater peace and the ability to move forward unburdened by the past.

Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with adults who struggle with letting go of resentment, anger, or past hurts, including conflicts in relationships, family, or personal experiences. Many clients find that holding on to these feelings impacts their emotional well-being, relationships, and sense of peace. My approach helps clients explore the underlying emotions, gain perspective, and develop strategies for self-compassion and healthy boundaries, supporting the process of forgiveness in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and emotionally freeing.

Patricia Scholl
Life Coach, CASAC trained, BA in Communications
Forgiveness is extremely important to find peace within. Holding on to anger, vengeance and resentment is not only exhausting, but it is draining your energy that should be going towards your life. Letting go frees you to focus on more important things.

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.

KIND Counseling, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Unforgiveness is one of the biggest sources of mental health issues that we encounter as clinicians on a regular basis. Past hurt needs to be looked at realistically; and clients have to be willing to make tough decisions about relinquishing the pain that has plagued them for years, sometimes decades.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing harm. It’s about releasing what no longer needs to be carried. I help clients work through betrayal, resentment, and grief by honoring the pain and listening to what their body still holds. Using somatic and reflective practices, we create space for emotional clarity and self-compassion, so that forgiveness, if and when it comes, feels honest and freeing.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Holding on to gripes, and holding grudges can also be corrosive to us internally. Part of having a fuller, more expansive life often means forgiving those who have wronged us in our lives.

Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Forgiveness is a profound act of reclaiming energy trapped in resentment and unconscious projection. By understanding the shadow dynamics that bind you, we facilitate a spiritual release from the cycle of grievance, restoring psychic wholeness, and allowing you to move forward with a lighter heart and clearer vision. We view forgiveness not as condoning harm, but as an alchemical process turning bitterness into wisdom. It is a spiritual practice detaching from the ego's demand for retribution, clearing the way for your soul to heal, and transforming wounds into deep compassion and inner liberty. True forgiveness often begins internally, by softening the inner critic and accepting your own humanity. From a Jungian view, this clears debris blocking your connection to the Self. Cultivating this inner grace naturally extends outward, resolving conflicts and fostering peace.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Forgiveness is complicated and cannot be forced. In therapy, forgiveness is not about pretending something didn’t hurt or excusing harmful behavior. Instead, we explore what forgiveness might mean for you—whether that is letting go, setting boundaries, grieving, or finding a way to move forward without carrying the same weight.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with forgiving significant figures in your life can impede your happiness and ability to move forward. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to work through your desire to forgive and move forward. You can understand what you can and can't control, and if any of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who are grappling with questions around forgiveness, including whether forgiveness is possible, appropriate, or even wanted. Difficulties around forgiveness often involve complex emotions such as anger, grief, guilt, loyalty, or fear of loss, and can be shaped by long-standing relational patterns.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore what forgiveness means in your specific context, without pressure toward resolution. Rather than assuming forgiveness as a goal, the focus is on understanding what has been held, protected, or avoided, and what feels truthful to you now. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both.
