Forgiveness can be one of the most freeing—but also most challenging—steps in emotional and spiritual healing. Whether you are struggling to forgive yourself or someone else, unresolved hurt can keep you trapped in anger, resentment, or shame. In therapy, we help clients gently explore the pain, understand the impact of holding onto it, and work toward releasing it in a way that honors both their feelings and God’s truth. Through faith-informed guidance and practical therapeutic tools, forgiveness counseling supports healing, emotional freedom, and restoration—helping you experience peace, wholeness, and healthier relationships.

True You Ministries | Stacy Echeverria Co-Founder
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Pastoral Counselor
Forgiveness can be difficult when you’ve experienced deep hurt, betrayal, or disappointment. I help women explore the emotional wounds that can make forgiveness feel overwhelming while understanding what biblical forgiveness is—and what it is not. Together, we work toward releasing the weight of past hurts, establishing healthy boundaries when needed, and moving toward greater peace and emotional freedom without minimizing what happened.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Forgiveness is a deeply personal process, not an obligation, an excuse for harmful behavior, or a requirement to reconcile. It can mean releasing the emotional burden of resentment, guilt, or pain so the past no longer controls your present.
I help clients explore forgiveness at their own pace, with respect for their experiences, boundaries, and readiness. Together, we work toward self-compassion, emotional freedom, and acceptance, whether that involves forgiving another person, forgiving yourself, or simply choosing peace without minimizing what happened.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Forgiveness is not forced positivity — it’s a process. Together we explore hurt, accountability, and boundaries so that release becomes empowering, not self-abandoning. We always start with the self.

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.
