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.

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.

It encourages self-reflection and emotional healing by guiding you through the process of understanding your feelings, challenging negative thought patterns, and finding compassion—both for yourself and others.

Good Human Work
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CSAC
Forgiveness is hard even when you've experienced something less significant, and can feel unnatural when it's about something really painful. When it comes to forgiving ourselves... well, that can feel downright impossible or unacceptable. Yet, it's an important step to finding peace within ourselves and living a happier life. Working through the pain and taking steps toward forgiveness takes courage. It's easier with a therapist who can guide the way and support you through it.

Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
Forgiveness can be one of the most meaningful and also most difficult parts of healing. Many people come to therapy carrying hurt from relationships, family dynamics, betrayal, or past experiences that still feel heavy in the present. I provide a supportive space for children (7+), teens, and women who are struggling with resentment, emotional wounds, or feeling stuck in what has happened to them. In our work together, forgiveness is never rushed or forced. Instead, we gently explore what the pain represents, how it has impacted your thoughts and emotions, and what it might look like to begin loosening the hold it has on your present life. Forgiveness is not about excusing harm or minimizing what happened, it is about creating space for healing, emotional freedom, and peace. For many clients, forgiveness also involves processing grief, setting boundaries, and rebuilding a sense of self after being hurt. I use a compassionate, skills-based approach to help clients regulate emotions, work through painful memories, and move at a pace that feels safe and respectful. For clients who desire it, faith can also be integrated into this process. Christian counseling can offer a framework of grace, healing, and spiritual support, allowing forgiveness to be explored through both emotional and spiritual understanding. My goal is to help clients move toward relief, not by forgetting the past, but by no longer being defined or controlled by it. Healing is possible, and forgiveness can become a pathway toward greater peace, clarity, and emotional freedom.

Research indicates that forgiveness is an essential component of physical, emotional, and spiritual well being. Instead of clinging to resentment or bearing a grudge, learn to experience the freedom, healing, and growth available to you when you invest in a forgiveness process. Make room for joy and peace to reside more fully in you when you choose to forgive.

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

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Forgiveness is one of the most misused words in the language. It gets deployed as a demand — as though the person who was hurt owes the one who hurt them a resolution. Real forgiveness, when it comes, is not a decision. It is something that happens when a person has been allowed to fully inhabit their anger, their grief, the reality of what was taken. You cannot skip to the end. The therapeutic work is in everything that comes before — the parts no one wants to stay with.

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.

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.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Forgiveness in relationships is deeply personal, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of what it should look like. In Gottman Method couples therapy, partners are supported in exploring the meaning of forgiveness within the context of their own experiences, values, boundaries, and relationship goals. Therapy provides space to process hurt, rebuild emotional safety, and strengthen trust without pressure to move faster than feels authentic or "sweep things under the rug." Whether couples are working through betrayal, repeated conflict, or emotional wounds, the focus is on fostering understanding, taking responsibility, making amends, healing, and intentional reconnection in a way that is meaningful and lasting.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anger and depression may stem from lack of forgiveness of either others or self. We all have been hurt and may have difficulty with forgiving the unforgivable. We often forget that we all make mistakes and no human is perfect. Forgiveness can be difficult but is essential for healing as an individual and in relationships. Lets work on helping you to be able to give grace to others and yourself, so you can work on healing.
