Forgiveness
Dr. Connie Stomper
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, EdD, DSS
Holding judgement against ourselves or others can increase the burden of whatever challenge or hurt/harm we experience. Learning to let go of that extra burden not as an approval of what occurred but as a release into greater freedom for ourselves.

Forgiveness
Allie Michie, MS
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.

Forgiveness
Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
Forgiveness is often less about others and more about finding peace within yourself. I help clients explore the emotions, patterns, and parts of themselves that hold onto pain, resentment, or anger. Together, we work toward release, self-compassion, and a sense of freedom that supports healing and growth.

Forgiveness
Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Forgiveness is an essential part of regaining wholeness and purpose in your life. Blame can keep you stuck and feeling disempowered. This process does not mean condoning inappropriate behavior. It is meant to facilitate growth and freedom in your life.
