Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Forgiveness is a deeply personal process, not an obligation, an excuse for harmful behavior, or a requirement to reconcile. It can mean releasing the emotional burden of resentment, guilt, or pain so the past no longer controls your present.
I help clients explore forgiveness at their own pace, with respect for their experiences, boundaries, and readiness. Together, we work toward self-compassion, emotional freedom, and acceptance, whether that involves forgiving another person, forgiving yourself, or simply choosing peace without minimizing what happened.

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 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.

Cherie Felzer, Weaving Pathways
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is a place of truth and honesty. When we find forgiveness, we can free our hearts from some of the pain that holds us back. Forgiveness does not mean we agree with what may have happened, but that we can continue to find peace within ourselves regardless.
