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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Forgiveness counseling is a transformative process that facilitates the release of resentment, anger, and hurt that often maintains a hold on one's emotional well-being. Our services in this area focus on assisting clients as they navigate the complex path toward forgiving others and, equally importantly, themselves. This journey can pave the way for healing, inner peace, and the restoration of fractured relationships.
Fostering Compassion and Peace Through Forgiveness
* Understanding Forgiveness: We begin by exploring the true meaning of forgiveness, debunking myths, and setting realistic expectations about what forgiveness does and does not entail.
* Addressing Emotional Pain: A safe and empathetic space for clients to express and work through the emotional pain that has inhibited their ability to forgive, fostering a deeper understanding of their own feelings and experiences.
* Personal Empowerment: Forgiveness is framed as a choice and an act of personal empowerment, rather than a sign of weakness or an obligation to others.
* Letting Go of Harmful Attachments: Counseling focuses on helping individuals let go of negative attachments to past events and the people who have caused them harm, enabling them to reclaim their mental and emotional freedom.
* Reconciliation versus Release: We help clients discern between reconciliation—a restored relationship with the one who wronged them—and release, which is to free oneself from the burden of unresolved hurt.
Goals of Forgiveness Counseling
Our forgiveness counseling aims to assist clients in:
* Processing and Accepting Hurtful Events: Acknowledge and accept the reality of what happened in order to move forward.
* Liberating from the Past: Break free from the anchor of past hurts that impede current happiness and emotional wellness.
* Enhancing Personal Growth: Use the process of forgiveness as a catalyst for personal growth and self-improvement.
* Healing Emotional Wounds: Begin to heal the emotional wounds inflicted by others or oneself.
* Restoring Inner Peace: Achieving a sense of inner peace, regardless of whether the relationship with the offender is reconciled.
The act of forgiveness can be a profoundly liberating experience that goes far beyond mending relationships with others—it's an act of healing for oneself. Our skilled therapists are dedicated to guiding you through the emotional complexities of forgiveness, empowering you to let go of the past and embrace a more peaceful, fulfilling future. Connect with us to explore how forgiveness counseling can be a vital step in your personal journey of healing and growth.

We will explore what forgiveness means to you, and the role it may or may not play in your healing. Remember---forgiveness and boundaries are two different things, which is something we will explore together.
