Forgiveness therapists in London, Ontario ON, Canada CA
Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Forgiveness is a profound and transformative process that involves letting go of resentment, anger, or the desire for revenge towards someone who has caused harm or wrongdoing. It is a conscious and intentional choice to release the emotional burden associated with a past offense, freeing oneself from the shackles of negative emotions. Forgiveness does not necessarily condone the actions of others but empowers the forgiver to reclaim personal peace and emotional well-being. Embracing forgiveness can foster healing, promote personal growth, and contribute to healthier relationships. It is a courageous act that often involves self-reflection, empathy, and a willingness to move forward with an open heart. In choosing forgiveness, individuals embark on a journey of emotional liberation, allowing them to transcend the pain of the past and cultivate a more positive and harmonious present.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Therapy can serve as a safe space to explore your feelings of resentment and forgiveness. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RP
Are you noticing that the burden of resentment or self-blame has become too difficult to carry? Do you find yourself stewing on events from the past - locked in painful waves of anger, regret, disappointment, and self-doubt? Are you looking for clarification and emotional freedom?
Learning to cultivate forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or denying the pain of your experience. It also doesn't mean having to say or do something for another person. It is all about doing something meaningful for you. It involves learning to give back to yourself what has been lost, reclaiming who you were before and nurturing self-forgiveness.
I am here for you, holding a safe and supportive space. Together you and I will explore ways to hold yourself kindly, develop skills to manage the pain and weather the emotional storms, and begin to reconnect with what is essential for how you want to live your life now.
