Forgiveness
Michael Klinkner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Forgiveness of another is a very unique and complex process for everyone. When and how to forgive is so different from situation to situation. I have years of training and experience in working with this issue. I work to help clients address their issues from a variety of different angles and determine the underlying causes behind the problems.

Forgiveness
Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
Forgiveness is often misunderstood—it’s not about excusing harm, but about releasing the emotional knots that keep you tethered to pain. Whether you’re working to forgive someone else or yourself, I help you explore the layers of hurt, grief, and meaning beneath the surface. Together, we build compassion, resolution, boundaries, and clarity so you can move forward with a lighter heart and a stronger sense of inner peace.

Forgiveness
Caitlin Derouen
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
I work closely with my patients to address their ability to forgive others as well as themselves. Shame is one of the number one things that keeps us stuck in our pain and makes it difficult for us to move forward from the past. I focus on treating shame and self criticism using Compassion Focused Therapy, Ego State Therapy, EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.

Forgiveness
Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood concepts in healing. It is not about excusing what happened, pretending the harm wasn't real, or reconciling with someone who has hurt you. It is not something you owe anyone, and it cannot be rushed or forced. True forgiveness is a deeply personal and often lengthy process — one that ultimately has far less to do with the person who hurt you and far more to do with your own freedom. Carrying unresolved hurt, betrayal, or resentment is exhausting in ways that quietly affect everything — your relationships, your body, your ability to trust, and your capacity to be fully present in your own life. At Deserts Bloom Therapy, the work around forgiveness begins with something that often gets skipped entirely: fully honoring the pain. Before anything else, what happened to you deserves to be witnessed, validated, and grieved. From that foundation, and only at your pace, the therapeutic process gently explores what forgiveness might mean for you personally — not as a destination you must reach, but as a gradual unburdening that you choose for yourself. Whether you are working through a betrayal, a childhood wound, a fractured relationship, or the tender and often overlooked work of forgiving yourself, there is space here to do that honestly, safely, and without anyone rushing you toward an ending you haven't yet found.

A person benefits from being able to forgive by letting go of anger and resentment . This is not always an easy process or a process clients are ready to do.

Forgiveness
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is often treated like a requirement for healing, but it’s more complicated than that. Many people are told they “need” to forgive in order to move forward, and when they can’t, it creates even more shame on top of what they’re already carrying. In reality, forgiveness is not a prerequisite for healing. In therapy, we focus on helping you sort through what forgiveness actually means to you, not what you’ve been told it should look like. If you decide that forgiveness is something you want to work toward for yourself, we absolutely do that. But the goal is not to force it. The goal is to help you process what happened and reduce the hold it has on your life, whether forgiveness becomes part of that or not.

Mesa is one of the largest suburbs in the United States and part of the greater Phoenix metro, with a significant LDS (Latter-day Saint) community that shapes the social fabric and the therapy landscape — many residents seek therapists who can integrate faith values with evidence-based approaches to anxiety, relationship issues, and family dynamics. The city's car-dependent suburban sprawl and intense summer heat contribute to social isolation, and therapists here frequently address loneliness and the challenges of building genuine community in a dispersed environment. Banner Desert Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, and many Mesa residents also access care through the broader Phoenix-metro therapy ecosystem. The city's large Latino and Mormon populations both drive demand for culturally specific therapeutic approaches.
