Forgiveness
Dr. Adrian Scharfetter
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CST-S
Forgiveness after infidelity is one of the most tender and challenging journeys a couple can face. In my practice, I help partners navigate the complex emotions that come with betrayal, grief, anger, confusion, and the longing to rebuild trust. Forgiveness, if it becomes part of the process, doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing what happened. Instead, it’s about making space for healing, understanding the deeper layers of the rupture, and choosing whether and how to move forward with clarity and care.
Using an integrative approach I guide couples through the emotional terrain of reconnection. We work with the protective parts that may be guarding pain or fear, and create space for authentic dialogue, emotional safety, and gradual repair. Forgiveness, when it’s real and earned, can be a doorway to renewed intimacy, resilience, and even transformation. I hold that process with deep respect, always centering your pace, your boundaries, and your truth.

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.

Forgiveness
Misty Johnson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
Forgiveness is sometimes the best gift we can give ourselves but only when we decide that we are ready to forgive. The process of forgiveness cannot be rushed (and may never come and that is healthy too).

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 is a complex, deeply personal process that can bring healing and peace—but it often takes time and guidance. In therapy, we explore what forgiveness means for you, help process hurt and resentment, and support you in finding a path toward letting go that feels authentic and freeing.
