Morgan Mackenzie
Registered Social Worker, RSW
In my practice, I specialize in guiding individuals through the transformative journey of forgiveness. Forgiveness is a complex and powerful process that can free individuals from the weight of resentment, anger, and past hurts. I approach this delicate and profound work with sensitivity and empathy, creating a safe space for clients to explore their emotions and experiences. Using a combination of narrative therapy, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness techniques, I help clients navigate the complexities of forgiveness, facilitating healing and closure. Together, we work towards understanding the impact of past wounds, fostering empathy, and ultimately empowering clients to release the emotional burdens that may be hindering their personal growth. Through the therapeutic process of forgiveness, individuals can find a path towards liberation, resilience, and a renewed sense of inner peace.

Vilma Madramootoo , Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Holistic Health Practitioner, Health & Wellness Coach
I help you break down the barriers of Forgiveness by offering focused-based techniques. Forgiveness means different things to different people. Sometimes it's a decision of "letting go" of toxic feelings that keep you stuck or trapped with an unpleasant experience or person. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you or making up with the person who caused the harm. Forgiveness helps you to go on with your life in a healthier way. Forgiving yourself is the first step of Self-love, Self-care, and Self-acceptance.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I acknowledge that forgiveness is a process, and although it can be extremely empowering and healing, it is highly individual and dependent on each client’s unique circumstances. Therefore, when it comes to forgiveness, it is imperative that this process is honoured, and a client is given the opportunity to go through the various stages of forgiveness, which can be anywhere from powerful anger to a deep sense of remorse. Along the way, I aim to validate the client’s emotions while opening up new possibilities for a better and brighter future. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Headway Mental Health
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
As a compassionate therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex and transformative journey of forgiveness. Drawing from my own personal experiences and professional training, I understand the profound impact that holding onto resentment, anger, and hurt can have on one's emotional well-being and relationships. I believe that forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing and growth, allowing individuals to break free from the chains of pain and find inner peace. In our sessions, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore the deep-rooted emotions and beliefs that may be preventing you from embracing forgiveness. Together, we will work towards understanding the underlying reasons behind your pain and examine how forgiveness can bring about profound healing and liberation. Utilizing various evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, I will guide you in developing strategies to let go of resentment and cultivate compassion for yourself and others. Through this transformative process, you will gain a deeper understanding of forgiveness as a personal choice and empower yourself to heal, rebuild trust, and foster healthier relationships. My mission is to support you on your journey towards forgiveness, helping you find the strength, resilience, and inner peace necessary to create a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Forgiveness is a process where someone who has been wronged chooses to let go of their resentment, and treat the wrongdoer with compassion. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or condoning the wrongdoing, granting legal mercy, or reconciling a relationship. You can forgive a person while in no way believing that their actions were acceptable or justified.
Clients who continue to hang on to painful emotions related to a mistreatment—even though they have every right to hold those emotions—can receive great benefit from forgiveness therapy. A number of positive outcomes, such as reductions in depression, resentment, and rumination, have been associated with forgiveness.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP
Forgiveness may seem like an impossible place to get to when someone has caused us harm. When ready, we need to find a way to process the anger, resentment, and pain we feel so that we can move on from our pain. Therapy is an effective tool for helping you to move past the pain and anger and toward peace.

Kaleidoscope Counselling Collective
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Holding on to hurt and resentment can eat us up inside and create more distress than it's worth. Exploring what's keeping us stuck, and engaging in actions that will help us shift towards letting go can help us feel lighter and more empowered. Our therapists can help you determine and act on the steps necessary to forgive and move on.
Depression is all encompassing. It affects all aspects of our life including our physical health, our emotional state, our thinking patterns, our behaviours and reactions, and our relationships. We often lose interest in participating in life and this can lead to feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and worthlessness.
Although we can feel like a lost cause at times, there is always hope! Working together in therapeutic relationship, we can can help you reconnect with your joy in a supportive and compassionate way.
If you want to start letting go, book a free consultation or book a session today! www.kaleidoscopecounsellingco.com

Florence MacGregor
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), MFA, MPS, Embodiment Coach
Forgiveness is challenging when you are innocent and the perpetrator is not willing to be accountable for their actions. It is not something that happens over night and it is not always to even accept for yourselfm even if you are innocent. Patience, courage and allowing all of your emotions to be accepted with respect, serves to heal personal boundaries and respect. You are worthy of care, love and support.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Forgiveness is a process like anything else; it takes time and it is important to realize it is ultimately optional. Forgiveness is for us; not for them and it doesn't mean condoning their behavior. It simply means in time we move on from it though this can take time.

Bree Bonanno
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Forgiveness shouldn't be forced. Only you can know if and when you're ready to forgive. Remember that the act of forgiveness is not about the other person but, instead, for yourself. To forgive others doesn't equate to reconciliation, nor does it mean to condone. It's meant to release your resentment and permit you to reclaim your life.
