Forgiveness
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients work through resentment, anger, guilt, betrayal, and the emotional weight of unresolved hurt. Forgiveness does not mean excusing harmful behavior or forcing yourself to move on before you are ready. In therapy, we focus on understanding what happened, processing the emotional impact, clarifying boundaries, and deciding what healing looks like for you. My goal is to help clients move forward with greater clarity, self-respect, and emotional freedom.

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.

Forgiveness
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Forgiveness in relationships is deeply personal, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of what it should look like. In Gottman Method couples therapy, partners are supported in exploring the meaning of forgiveness within the context of their own experiences, values, boundaries, and relationship goals. Therapy provides space to process hurt, rebuild emotional safety, and strengthen trust without pressure to move faster than feels authentic or "sweep things under the rug." Whether couples are working through betrayal, repeated conflict, or emotional wounds, the focus is on fostering understanding, taking responsibility, making amends, healing, and intentional reconnection in a way that is meaningful and lasting.

My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. Forgiving those who have harmed us or forgiving ourselves for past mistakes is often a crucial step in the healing process.
