Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LMFT
Forgiveness is a concept often at the heart of many relational matters, whether it is relationship with intimate partners, friends and acquaintances, or family. Surprisingly, the art of forgiving is not often brought up by therapists as a therapeutic goal for clients, partly because of the importance of therapeutic alliance -- the relationship between therapist and client believed to be central to how well therapy works. It has been my experience that most often when clients arrive at their own need to forgive, a deeper healing begins.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Forgiveness isn't one-size-fits-all, and it is not the same as forgetting or excusing. I help you figure out what forgiveness would actually mean for you, if it's even the goal, and work through the grief and anger underneath it.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Forgiveness is about loss and grief. Often people want to approach this as if it's just something we can do and move on. In therapy you'll learn what is keeping you stuck, how to talk about what you lost, and ways to begin moving though those difficult feelings.

Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is not something you owe anyone, it’s not about pretending what happened was okay, can’t be rushed or forced. Forgiveness begins with making room for everything you feel and having your experience truly witnessed before any letting go.

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.

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for individuals navigating the process of forgiveness, helping clients work through hurt, resentment, and unresolved emotional pain. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and values-based interventions, I support clients in understanding the impact of past experiences while developing the capacity to release anger and move forward. My work emphasizes that forgiveness is a personal, empowering process—not condoning harm, but freeing oneself from its lasting effects—allowing clients to regain peace, clarity, and emotional balance.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.

What is Forgiveness?
It’s helpful to distinguish between forgiveness and exoneration. Forgiveness is the internal process of releasing the heavy burden of resentment and the desire for retribution. Exoneration, on the other hand, implies that the person did nothing wrong or is "off the hook." You can forgive someone while still acknowledging that their actions were unacceptable.
Should I Forgive?
The question of "should" is deeply personal. A better question might be: Is it safe for me to do so? Emotional Safety: Does holding onto this anger protect you, or is it draining your energy? Physical Safety: Forgiveness does not mean putting yourself back in harm's way.
The Role of Boundaries
One of the biggest myths about forgiveness is that it requires reconciliation. Forgiving someone does not mean you have to bring them back into your life the way they were before—or at all. You can find peace with the past while maintaining a very firm "no" in the present.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself; a boundary is a gift you give your future.
We will work together to define what "moving on" looks like for you—whether that involves a restored relationship or a quiet, final goodbye.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
To forgive is to let go. Letting go of the hurt, the insult, and the pain. Holding on to each only creates resentment and more pain that eats us up in the end. I can help you move through and past it and let it go.

For many years forgiveness wasn't talked about very much in psychology or social work programs. That has changed. There is more and more research supporting it's importance in maintaining mental health. Openness to therapy and the process of forgiveness can really be a major step toward more happiness in your life.

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.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
"Revenge is a kiss. This time I won't miss." That's only in James Bond's movies. When you forgive, you feel peace and you can start again. I will help you forgive and heal by hypnotherapy. Later, I will help you become a new you. Life is too short to lead an unforgiving life.
Hypnotherapy is considered an effective tool for facilitating forgiveness by addressing subconscious emotional baggage and releasing deeply held resentment or anger. It helps individuals move past lingering negativity, offering techniques to process pain, reduce self-criticism, and foster self-compassion and forgive whoever hurt you.
