Forgiveness
Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing what happened. It is about releasing the burden of pain, resentment, or anger that may be holding you back. Whether you are struggling to forgive someone else or yourself, the process can feel complicated and deeply emotional.
In a safe and supportive space, I help individuals explore what forgiveness means to them, process the hurt they carry, and move toward emotional freedom at their own pace. Forgiveness is a process and can be a powerful step toward healing and peace.
If you are ready to release what no longer serves you and create space for peace and self-compassion, I invite you to get in touch.

Forgiveness
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.

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.

Forgiveness
David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
While forgiveness does not mean what happened to you in the past was ok, it can free you up from holding onto anger, resentment, or hope that interfering with living fully. Forgiveness highlights our core values that felt violated, allowing us to see other valued areas in our lives that are being neglected. It is possible to forgive while still having healthy boundaries, whether it is from your past or present.

Forgiveness
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
The real purpose of forgiveness is to protect your own emotional and physical health by freeing you from anger, stress and negative thinking. It is more for you than it is for anyone else, and has nothing to do with regarding what happened as okay. You can still regret, disapprove of or feel devastated by what happened. And you can create the boundaries that are necessary for you to thrive and avoid further suffering. Forgiveness involves establishing a sense of peace and radical acceptance, acknowledging that past unjust events are unchangeable. And this frees you to move forward into new chapters and experiences. Self-forgiveness can free you from pointless persistent guilt and self-loathing. Forgiveness towards others can make relationship repair possible, if that is something you choose. More importantly it can limit the ongoing harm done to you by holding onto anger, resentfulness or guilt and replaying painful memories. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns, anger, trauma and pain, and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Forgiveness
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.
