Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, Couples Therapy, Affair & Betrayal Recovery, Certified Sex Therapy, Certified Discernment Counselor
Forgiveness in a relationship does not mean excusing harmful behavior or moving forward before trust has been rebuilt. I help couples address withheld apologies, blame, recurring negative patterns, and serious breaches such as an affair, financial infidelity, or substance misuse. Through accountability, meaningful repair, and healthier boundaries, partners can determine what forgiveness means for them and whether a more secure relationship can be created.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is not a destination, but a place to visit and spend time. When people are betrayed either by a friend, family member, romantic partner, or co-worker, the hurt is profound. Sometimes, as with someone who has passed, there is no opportunity to gain closure. Forgiveness work is about exploring your feelings, but also learning skills you can use to work through the pain and get to a place of acceptance.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Forgiveness is often confused with trust. Forgiveness involves giving up expectations, acceptance of the situation, and compassion for self and others.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults who are grappling with questions around forgiveness, including whether forgiveness is possible, appropriate, or even wanted. Difficulties around forgiveness often involve complex emotions such as anger, grief, guilt, loyalty, or fear of loss, and can be shaped by long-standing relational patterns.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore what forgiveness means in your specific context, without pressure toward resolution. Rather than assuming forgiveness as a goal, the focus is on understanding what has been held, protected, or avoided, and what feels truthful to you now. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients work through resentment, anger, guilt, betrayal, and the emotional weight of unresolved hurt. Forgiveness does not mean excusing harmful behavior or forcing yourself to move on before you are ready. In therapy, we focus on understanding what happened, processing the emotional impact, clarifying boundaries, and deciding what healing looks like for you. My goal is to help clients move forward with greater clarity, self-respect, and emotional freedom.
