Forgiveness
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
When someone has hurt you deeply, you may find yourself caught between wanting to move forward and feeling that doing so would mean minimizing what happened or letting the other person off the hook. You may replay the injury, long for acknowledgment or accountability, or feel pressured to forgive before you've fully processed your anger and grief. I help clients explore what forgiveness means to them, what remains unresolved, and what they need in order to feel less defined or constrained by the injury. Forgiveness does not have to mean reconciliation, excusing harm, or abandoning your boundaries; our work is about finding a path toward resolution that honors your experience and feels authentic to you.

Forgiveness
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach forgiveness as a central aspect of healing, drawing upon psychological insights and Christian teachings. Recognizing forgiveness as a transformative and freeing process, I integrate biblical principles on forgiveness, love, and grace into therapy sessions. Emphasizing the example of Christ's forgiveness, I encourage clients to explore their faith and find strength in extending forgiveness to others and themselves. The therapeutic process may involve prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on the importance of forgiveness in the Christian journey. I guide individuals in understanding the relational and emotional benefits of forgiveness while addressing any barriers that may hinder the process. This integrative approach seeks to help clients navigate the complexities of forgiveness, fostering emotional healing and reconciliation within the framework of their Christian beliefs.

Forgiveness
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults who are grappling with questions around forgiveness, including whether forgiveness is possible, appropriate, or even wanted. Difficulties around forgiveness often involve complex emotions such as anger, grief, guilt, loyalty, or fear of loss, and can be shaped by long-standing relational patterns.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore what forgiveness means in your specific context, without pressure toward resolution. Rather than assuming forgiveness as a goal, the focus is on understanding what has been held, protected, or avoided, and what feels truthful to you now. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both.
