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.

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 work starts with exploring every obstacle that is in the way of forgiveness, especially ourselves. This work would lead us to more self love and acceptance. I invite you to take the first step towards your freedom and more fulfilled life by reaching out for support.

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.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
When you've been deeply hurt, feelings of anger, resentment, and betrayal can feel overwhelming and difficult to let go of. Together, we'll work through these painful emotions, helping you process what happened, find healing, and move forward in a way that feels right for you whether or not forgiveness is part of your journey. My goal is to help you find peace, regain your emotional freedom, and ensure that your past no longer defines your present.

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.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Forgive the person and not the behaviour while still having healthy boundaries and not allowing abuse to continue. When people violate in various ways they are acting from their unconscious wounds and anxieties and are not healthy to be around. Lack of forgiveness negatively affects your health.

Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Forgiveness can be one of the most difficult parts of healing, particularly when the hurt involves betrayal, broken trust, or painful experiences within an important relationship. I help individuals and couples explore forgiveness without minimizing what happened or rushing the healing process. Counselling can provide a compassionate space to process hurt, anger, grief, and unresolved emotions while considering what forgiveness may mean in your particular circumstances. Where reconciliation is desired and appropriate, we can also work toward rebuilding trust, strengthening communication, and restoring emotional connection. For clients who wish to incorporate their Christian faith, forgiveness can also be explored through a thoughtful integration of clinical care, faith, and Scripture.
