Forgiveness
Laurie Moore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PhD, IFS, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR, Cyclical Pain Repatterning, Somatic, Expressive Arts
Forgiveness is a great theory but can often be a challenging reality. You may feel enraged for understandable reasons. When we arrive in real forgiveness we feel liberated. But this takes guidance and good tools. Forcing it only leads to more anger. With a safe place to be heard and heal, you will eventually experience enjoyable energy for life. You will create positive experiences and the pain that was trapping you will be erased. Get help to turn a concept into an actual experience so your life can feel much better.

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
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
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.
