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.

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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
The real purpose of forgiveness is to protect your own emotional and physical health by freeing you from anger, stress and negative thinking. It is more for you than it is for anyone else, and has nothing to do with regarding what happened as okay. You can still regret, disapprove of or feel devastated by what happened. And you can create the boundaries that are necessary for you to thrive and avoid further suffering. Forgiveness involves establishing a sense of peace and radical acceptance, acknowledging that past unjust events are unchangeable. And this frees you to move forward into new chapters and experiences. Self-forgiveness can free you from pointless persistent guilt and self-loathing. Forgiveness towards others can make relationship repair possible, if that is something you choose. More importantly it can limit the ongoing harm done to you by holding onto anger, resentfulness or guilt and replaying painful memories. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns, anger, trauma and pain, and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Marcelle Little
Marriage and Family Therapist, MPH, MA
Though forgiveness is a broad term, I focus more on the restoration of love, in which attention is drawn toward acceptance. When we are able to accept everything "as it is" ranging from dysfunctional family systems to toxic intimate relationships this quality restores love for our life's path. From the state of acceptance we are empowered to take action and release ourselves from the entanglement with perpetrator and allow for the responsibility to rest on them.

Richmond is a Contra Costa Bay Area city with a history defined by its role as a major World War II shipbuilding hub and by the environmental and community health impacts of the Chevron oil refinery, which has operated there for over a century and whose explosions and toxic releases—most notably in 2012—have created a legacy of environmental trauma and justified community distrust of institutions that shapes how healthcare and mental health services are received. The city has a predominantly Black and Latino population that has faced significant economic challenges, high crime rates in some areas, and persistent underinvestment, creating a mental health landscape marked by community resilience alongside significant unmet need. Contra Costa Health Services provides mental health services, and community health organizations supplement public resources. Common therapy concerns include environmental and community trauma, racial identity and systemic stress, economic anxiety, and the particular challenges of building mental health trust in a community that has experienced institutional harm.
