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.

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.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
I believe one of the first steps in moving on from many experiences is to explore forgiveness. I work with clients to help them understand forgiveness and move in that direction individually depending on what their needs and desires to heal are. It is often time consuming and slow moving process.

Advent Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT (R.N.-retired)
Forgiveness is among the most difficult and most liberating steps in the Christian life. Whether you are struggling to extend forgiveness to someone who has wounded you deeply, or you carry the weight of guilt and need to receive God's forgiveness yourself, I will guide you through the process with Biblical wisdom and patient support. This is not a matter of haste — it is a matter of allowing God to accomplish genuine healing in your heart.

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.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I help clients explore forgiveness in a thoughtful, non-pressured way. Therapy focuses on emotional processing, boundaries, and meaning-making, rather than forcing resolution before safety and clarity are established.

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).
