Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I believe it is the most transformative, underutilized pathway to profound emotional healing. I help clients move past the paralysis of bitterness, resentment, and self-blame, not by forgetting the past, but by liberating themselves from its hold.
My work focuses on:
Reclaiming Personal Power: Shifting from a state of victimization to one of empowerment, where the client decides to break free from the emotional, mental, and physical weight of unresolved trauma.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is not about what the other person did. Its not saying that it is OK what they did. Forgiveness is about letting go of the anger and softening so that you are not carrying around the burden of the anger. While this is very hard, it is possible.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Whether you got betrayed or did something to hurt someone else, approaching forgiveness is not easy. There are complex factors involved, including our personal histories and the current context of the situation. Sometimes taking responsibility looks differently than we first thought, and that too can be hard to accept. When we approach forgiveness with respect for ourselves and the other person, we can approach it with dignity. Humans mess up, and humans can make amends or repair what's possible to repair. We can forgive without returning to the same situation. We can forgive and need to address the issue again later, from another layer or standpoint. Forgiveness is a process, that hopefully results- after addressing harm or hurt thoroughly- in feeling lighter, freer, and happier.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Forgiveness is not about forgetting - it’s about finding freedom from the weight of resentment and hurt. In therapy, we explore what forgiveness truly means for you: how to grieve what was lost, hold boundaries with integrity, and allow compassion to emerge without abandoning yourself. Whether you’re healing after infidelity, betrayal, or relational pain, this work helps restore clarity and steadiness - creating room for trust, grace, and emotional repair to take root again.

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
We often carry a lot of resentment that is hard to know what to do with. We can work to uncover the ways in which we refuse to let go of certain feelings and resentments that, in the end, really just hurt us.

Full Circle Mental Health LLC
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LISW
Forgiveness is one of the most complex emotional journeys a human can undertake, and it is frequently misunderstood as condoning harm, forgetting past wounds, or forcing an unwanted reconciliation. Whether you are struggling to forgive someone who deeply hurt you, wrestling with religious or cultural pressures to "forgive and forget," or carrying the heavy weight of self-blame, I provide a safe, telehealth space across Ohio to help you untangle this process on your own terms.
At Full Circle Mental Health LLC, I believe that true forgiveness is an internal act of self-liberation, not a gift given to the person who harmed you. Grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework, I help individuals, couples, and blended families navigate this nuanced landscape without judgment.
You set the pace, and you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will look at your whole picture, honor your innate resilience, and build a personalized virtual roadmap. Our work will focus on deepening your self-compassion, untangling complex grief, and releasing the grip of past wounds so you can reclaim your personal power and step into an authentic, peaceful future.

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.
