Carrying the weight of past hurts can stall your growth, but the process of Forgiveness—whether directed at yourself or others—can find you internal peace. As a Ph.D. Psychologist with 35 years of experience, I help you navigate the complex process of letting go. We work to uncover the root of your resentment or guilt, fostering the deep emotional shifts needed to move toward a future defined by freedom rather than pain. Through secure Telehealth, I offer an expert, non-judgmental space to help you reconcile your past. Reach out to schedule your first appointment.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Forgiveness is a deeply personal process, not an obligation, an excuse for harmful behavior, or a requirement to reconcile. It can mean releasing the emotional burden of resentment, guilt, or pain so the past no longer controls your present.
I help clients explore forgiveness at their own pace, with respect for their experiences, boundaries, and readiness. Together, we work toward self-compassion, emotional freedom, and acceptance, whether that involves forgiving another person, forgiving yourself, or simply choosing peace without minimizing what happened.

Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
Forgiveness means accepting the idea that you'll never have a better past. This means that forgiveness work is grief work.
There are two kinds of forgiveness: the kind where someone apologizes, and the kind where you have to forgive someone in spite of a lack of apology. If you're trying to forgive someone who won't or can't apologize, the work is about finding reasons to do so within yourself. If you'd like support in forgiving someone (including yourself), reach out. I look forward to meeting you soon!
