Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you feel weighed down by hurt, resentment, or unfinished emotions from the past? Many of us grow up believing we’re supposed to “move on,” let things go quickly, or forgive before we’re ready. Anger, grief, or boundaries may have felt unacceptable, leaving those emotions unresolved and carried quietly over time.
These feelings are not a sign of bitterness or failure—they’re signals that something meaningful needs to be acknowledged. Forgiveness is not about excusing harm or forcing closure; it’s about understanding what you’ve been holding and deciding what you want to carry forward. Together, we can explore your experiences at your pace, clarify what forgiveness means for you, and support you in finding relief, clarity, and a lighter sense of self. You’re holding this for a reason. Let’s explore why—and what comes next.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Forgiveness can be hard, especially when you have felt hurt, betrayed or let down. Whether you are looking to forgive others or forgive yourself, we provide support to radically accept what occurred and find ways to move forward in life. Through an exploration of compassion, naming one's needs, and addressing accountability, while recognizing that all humans are imperfect, we can work through forgiveness-an act that can liberate yourself from feelings of bitterness, anger and resentment.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Forgiveness is deeply personal and should never be forced or rushed. Therapy can help you explore what forgiveness means for you, whether that involves grief, boundaries, release, repair, or choosing not to reconcile. The focus is not on minimizing harm, but on supporting your healing, clarity, and emotional freedom.

Our therapists provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their feelings and find a path towards forgiveness, whether it's towards themselves or others.

Fran Grove-White
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. Dip Ish, CGPA, CHTA
The power of forgiveness is often very surprising and many have difficulty with this. It is often conflated with forgetting and being used as a doormat or letting someone off scot free. The hardest one to forgive is often oneself.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Forgiveness is deeply personal, and it should never be forced, rushed, or used to minimize harm. In therapy, we can explore what forgiveness means for you, whether that involves releasing self-blame, making sense of pain, grieving what happened, or finding peace without necessarily reconciling. The focus is on your healing, your boundaries, and your emotional freedom.

Pursue You Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P
Holding onto resentment, guilt, or past wounds can feel heavy and exhausting. At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we help individuals navigate the complex emotions tied to forgiveness—whether it’s forgiving others, yourself, or simply finding peace with what cannot be changed. Forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing harm or forgetting—it’s about freeing yourself from the weight of anger and pain so you can move forward.
We provide treatment that targets:
-Resentment & Unresolved Hurt – Struggling to let go of past betrayals, injustices, or disappointments.
-Self-Forgiveness & Guilt – Carrying shame over past mistakes or struggling to move forward with self-compassion.
-Anger & Bitterness – Feeling stuck in frustration, seeking closure, or wanting to release emotional burdens.
-Broken Trust in Relationships – Navigating forgiveness after betrayal, family conflict, or relational wounds.
-Letting Go of Perfectionism – Learning to accept yourself and others despite past imperfections or failures.
-Fear of Being Hurt Again – Wanting to forgive but struggling with trust, boundaries, and emotional safety.
Our therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Self-Compassion Practices, Inner Healing & Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Emotional Processing to help you work through pain, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and cultivate a sense of peace—without minimizing your experiences. Forgiveness is a journey, not a destination. Whether you’re working on releasing anger, rebuilding trust, or learning to be kinder to yourself, we’re here to guide you toward healing in a way that honors your emotions and personal boundaries

I've been hurt... a lot. I've had to forgive... a lot. I've needed to be forgiven... arguably even more. Fortunately, I have tools like the 7 Steps of Forgiveness that can help.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
