Forgiveness
Tara Lawton
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Forgiveness is often one of the most difficult—and most transformative—parts of the healing process. Over the years, I’ve worked with many individuals exploring forgiveness, whether it involves others or themselves. It's not about forgetting or excusing harm, but about releasing the grip that pain and resentment can have on your life.
In our work together, we’ll take a gentle, honest look at the impact of past experiences and explore what forgiveness means to you. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of emotional abuse, betrayal, or inner self-blame, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to process those emotions. Together, we’ll work toward healing, self-compassion, and freedom from the weight of unresolved hurt.

Forgiveness
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.

Darryl G. Carter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I specialize in helping clients work through the process of forgiveness, guiding them toward emotional healing and personal freedom. I support individuals in addressing past hurt, resentment, and unresolved conflict while developing healthy ways to release anger and rebuild peace. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with a strengths-based perspective to help clients process emotions, set boundaries, and move forward without being defined by past experiences. My goal is to help clients experience relief, restore inner balance, and cultivate a greater sense of clarity and well-being.

Forgiveness
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.
