Shohreh ("Sho-ray") 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.

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.

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.

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness can be complicated, especially when you've been deeply hurt. I don't believe forgiveness means minimizing what happened or forcing yourself to let go before you're ready. Therapy can help you work through anger, grief, resentment, and hurt while discovering what forgiveness—or simply greater freedom—might mean for you.

Forgiveness is deeply personal and cannot be forced. I offer space to explore hurt, anger, grief, and self-blame without pressure to excuse harmful behavior or reconnect with someone who has hurt you.
