Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist, my approach to treating forgiveness is grounded in understanding its profound impact on mental health and well-being. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and narrative therapy, I guide individuals in exploring the complex emotions and beliefs surrounding forgiveness. By facilitating a process of self-reflection, empathy-building, and perspective-taking, I help clients cultivate compassion for themselves and others involved in the situation. Additionally, I assist individuals in setting boundaries, practicing assertiveness, and letting go of resentment to promote healing and release emotional burdens. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace forgiveness as a transformative process that fosters personal growth, resilience, and inner peace.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.

Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Holding onto hurt, resentment, or guilt can feel heavy and exhausting. Whether it’s about something someone else did or something you’re struggling to forgive in yourself, these feelings can impact your relationships and overall well-being. I help teens and young adults work through these experiences at their own pace, making space for understanding, self-compassion, and healing. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding a way to move forward with greater peace and clarity.
