Michelle VanderJagt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is the choice to release yourself from carrying around the weight of past hurts. While it sounds simple, it can be a difficult process to walk through. With help, you can face your hurt and begin to heal.

Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MFT
I think forgiveness is much harder than people believe. It may take time to process and be ok with hurt or anger that you may have felt.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Forgiveness is an essential part of regaining wholeness and purpose in your life. Blame can keep you stuck and feeling disempowered. This process does not mean condoning inappropriate behavior. It is meant to facilitate growth and freedom in your life.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I gently guide clients on the transformative journey towards forgiveness, understanding its profound impact on emotional and mental health. By incorporating a blend of holistic strategies, such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness, alongside traditional psychotherapeutic tools, I help individuals navigate the complexities of forgiveness. This approach allows for the exploration and release of deeply held emotions, fostering a path to healing and reconciliation with oneself and others. We work together to build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop compassionate understanding, aiming to liberate clients from the burdens of past grievances. My supportive and empathetic approach is tailored to empower clients to embrace forgiveness, opening the door to inner peace and fostering healthier relationships. For those seeking to overcome the barriers to forgiveness and find a renewed sense of freedom and well-being, I am here to facilitate your journey with care and compassion.

Claudia Owens Shields
Psychologist, M.A., Ph.D.
There are many myths about "forgiveness." The one I hear most often is that people think that it involves pretending that the hurt someone has caused was "okay" and should be ignored and simply forgotten. I believed healing from a suffered wrong begins with a full and honest acknowledgment of the hurt, and engagement in a set of healthy processes that can gradually, over time transform the pain into strength and peace. From that position of strength one is better able to legitimately "let go."
