Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Forgiveness is not simple and often we realize that it's not about someone’s harmful behavior; it’s about our own relationship with our past. When we begin the work of forgiveness, it is primarily a practice for ourselves.

Forgiveness is a process and must be practiced. Forgiveness is a healthy way to set yourself free. It is a gift that one can give themself as it is not for the other person. I possess years of assisting individuals develop the tools they need to help them grow and heal from the pain or events that one has experienced in life.

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.

Alicia Stalker-Gallichio LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, SAP
Forgiveness is not about excusing or forgetting the pain inflicted, rather, it is a process of liberation that allows you to release the burdens of resentment and anger. Through compassionate dialogue and evidenced-based techniques we will work together to understand the impact of your experiences, navigate your feelings, and develop healthier perspectives. My goal is to empower you to embrace forgiveness as a tool for emotional freedmen helping you cultivate peace, resilience, and positive relationships moving forward.
