Dr. Susan E. Schumacher
Licensed Professional Counselor, DA, LPC, LCPC, CCTP, EMDR Clinician
Gentle loving kindness for yourself is a foundation for beginning to explore forgiveness, which, sometimes, involves giving up the wish that the past could be different. At your pace, we will explore issues surrounding the challenges that lead to difficult circumstances, betrayals or traumas. We will be cautious to avoid false forgiveness or a rush to forgive before you are ready, and begin to understand what happened to you and how you would like to process that experience.

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.

Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Forgiveness. Sometimes forgiveness means learning not to perseverate on something that has happened. Sometimes it means letting go if the other person has truly made changes and the behavior is not existing. Sometimes it means learning to like yourself again. Sometimes it mean acceptance that something has occurred, that you can forgive it, and it is about learning to move on so you can be happier in life.

Forgiveness
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.

Michelle Peacock

Forgiveness is often confused with trust. Forgiveness involves giving up expectations, acceptance of the situation, and compassion for self and others.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
For so many of my clients, the root of their issues lies in emotional and physical abuse, family dysfunction, or conflicts with people in their lives, whether it be family, work, community. Most hypnotherapists will tell you that freedom from negative feelings and healing can't be complete without forgiveness. Whenever working on such cases we always seek to move our clients towards forgiveness, so they can lay their conflict to rest and move on with their lives.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Forgiveness is for ourselves not for the other person(s). If we are harboring resentments and grudges with people in our lives it's like pointing the finger and wanting them to suffer while we drink the poison. The hardest thing to do is forgive ourselves. Usually, we will blame then eventually forgive another person. Then we will blame and eventually forgive God. But ourselves? It's important to be gentle with ourselves for if we cannot forgive ourselves it becomes more difficult to forgive others. I have several different processes of forgiveness that will ultimately set us free! And, by the way, forgiveness does not mean forget. We learn from our own and others character defects. So sometimes it means we forgive and change the nature of our relationship with a person so we don't put ourselves in that or similar situations again.

Forgiveness
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is difficult. It happens when you feel ready to move the hurt from the forefront to the background and it can be extremely freeing; it helps us to move on. Sometimes forgiveness is for yourself, and other times it's being able to forgive another - either expressed to them, or to them for yourself if that isn't possible.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Struggling with forgiveness, whether it’s towards yourself or someone else, can become all consuming. So much of your day may be colored with feelings of guilt, anger, or betrayal—even during moments that are supposed to be joyful. This experience may be compounded by feeling under-resourced with places or people you feel safe to openly and authentically process what is coming up for you. I aim to provide a sacred, brave space where you can feel empowered to commune with all your feelings in their raw form. A space where you feel safe to process your anger, or even to learn how to support yourself through experiences of shame and regret. Most importantly when working on forgiveness, my ambition is to support a process culminating in your ability to move forward with intention, choice, and agency.

Integrity Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist
Anger is often the result of deep injustices. While the anger you feel may be justified, holding onto it is not healthy. It can eat away at a person like a cancer. By learning how to establish healthy boundaries in life and to forgive those who hurt you, you can live a happy life free of anger.
