Forgiveness
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
A friend of mine once said that not forgiving is like holding hot coals in your hands, threatening to throw them at someone, when all you get is burned hands -- better to drop the coals, through forgiveness, than keep getting burned. Forgiveness is for you, not the other person. It relieves you of the burden of carrying anger and resentment toward another, or even yourself. Forgiving yourself or another person can be very healing. Their response to you forgiving them can be a bonus, but it isn't necessary, as proven by the fact that we can forgive people who are no longer alive.

Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Forgiveness isn't about excusing what happened or rushing past the hurt. It's a process, and it moves at your pace. Whether you're working through a betrayal, a rupture in a relationship, or something you're carrying toward yourself, we make space for the complexity of what forgiveness actually means for you.

Forgiveness
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are exploring forgiveness after experiences of betrayal, rejection, or harm. This includes people healing from infidelity as well as LGBTQ individuals who have experienced judgment, abandonment, or hurt within families, relationships, or communities. Forgiveness can be a complex and deeply personal process, and it does not mean excusing behavior, forgetting what happened, or rushing toward reconciliation.
In therapy, we focus on helping you clarify what forgiveness means to you and whether it is part of your healing process. This may include working through anger, grief, shame, or resentment, while also strengthening boundaries and self respect. For some people, forgiveness involves repairing a relationship. For others, it is about releasing the emotional hold of past harm so they can move forward with greater freedom.
My role is to support you in making thoughtful and self honoring choices that align with your values. Whether forgiveness becomes part of your path or not, therapy can help you regain a sense of agency, clarity, and emotional balance after painful experiences.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
Forgiveness is a personal process and does not mean excusing what happened or forgetting the pain. Therapy can help you work through hurt, find peace, and find what forgiveness means to you.

Forgiveness
Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
There has been a great deal written on forgiveness and your desire to move towards that process shows a willingness to understand what injustice you have suffered and how that pain is still being held. This work takes time to recognize the violation, the power dynamics that were and are at play, and to move towards a sense of compassion and empathy.
