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 that are no longer alive.

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
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is the glue that makes relationship possible. Without forgiveness, there is no possibility of relationship, without it there is simply the pullling away, putting up walls, and isolating. If we want to be healthy relationally, we don't have a choice, we have to live in a posture of forgiveness. It frees us from the power of that moment or event over our own life and allows us to move towards relationship with others who also engage the principle of forgiveness in their life.

Forgiveness
Bay Tree Therapy Group
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting; it means choosing your own peace.

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
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.
