Julie Chang, Flourishing Hearts Psychotherapy & Counselling Services Inc.
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Forgive and forget is what everyone will tell you, but what they don’t tell you is how. When you are ready, feel free to take that next step with me to find out how.

Forgiveness
Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Have you been carrying hurt, resentment, guilt, or anger from something that happened in your past? Perhaps someone you trusted deeply disappointed you, a family relationship has become strained, or you find yourself struggling to forgive your own mistakes. Holding onto painful experiences can affect your emotional well-being, relationships, and ability to move forward, even when you genuinely want things to feel different.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling to help you explore forgiveness, emotional healing, and self-compassion at your own pace. Drawing from person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles, I provide a supportive space where you can process difficult emotions, understand the impact of past experiences, and discover what healing means to you.
I believe forgiveness is a personal choice, not an obligation. It doesn't mean excusing harmful behaviour, forgetting what happened, or reconnecting with someone who has hurt you. Sometimes, healing involves establishing healthier boundaries, releasing self-blame, rebuilding trust in yourself, or learning to move forward without receiving an apology.
I also recognize that cultural values, family expectations, and personal beliefs can influence how we understand forgiveness. My culturally responsive approach honours your individual experiences while helping you explore what feels right for you.
Whether you're working through betrayal, family conflict, lingering resentment, or difficulties forgiving yourself, you deserve the opportunity to find peace on your own terms. I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in moving toward greater emotional freedom, self-understanding, and compassion.

Forgiveness
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Forgiveness can have a lot of different meanings depending on who you talk to. I believe forgiveness is about being able to acknowledge that someone has hurt us, but not letting that hurt dictate how we think, act, or feel. This can be an incredibly difficult place to get to depending on how we were hurt. I work with people on acknowledging the hurt, processing how it has affected them, figuring out how this hurt affects their lives now, and how to move forward in a way that honours their pain while beginning to heal it.

Forgiveness
Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Forgiveness can be complicated, especially when you’ve been deeply hurt, betrayed, or let down by someone you trusted. You may feel pressure to “move on” while still carrying anger, grief, resentment, guilt, or confusion about what forgiveness is supposed to mean. I approach forgiveness as a personal process, not an obligation, and never as a requirement to excuse harmful behaviour or restore a relationship. Together, we can explore what you’re carrying, make space for the emotions underneath it, and work toward greater peace, clarity, and freedom on your own terms.

Forgiveness
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a requirement for healing, but I believe it is a deeply personal choice. Drawing on over 15 years of experience working with survivors of complex trauma and abuse, I understand that for some, choosing not to forgive is a vital act of self-protection and boundary-setting.
In our work, there is no pressure to reach a state of forgiveness to 'earn' your peace. Instead, we focus on helping your 'parts' find relief from the burden of the past. Whether you choose to forgive or you choose to hold your boundary, my goal is to help you move toward a life of clarity and internal stability—free from the judgment of others and the weight of old wounds.
