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.

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.

Beth Clardy Lewis
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Forgiveness isn’t about excusing what happened — it’s about freeing yourself from what still hurts. I guide clients through a step-by-step process of emotional release, boundary setting, and internal healing. With years of clinical experience and published work on emotional resilience, I help you find clarity and closure. Together, we build a version of forgiveness that feels safe, authentic, and empowering.

New Haven is home to Yale University and presents one of the sharpest town-and-gown economic contrasts in the United States, where an immensely wealthy private university coexists with a city that has among the highest poverty rates in Connecticut, creating two almost entirely separate mental health landscapes within the same city limits. Yale's counseling and psychiatric services are among the best-resourced university mental health programs in the country, while residents in low-income neighborhoods face significant barriers to mental health care despite being in one of the country's wealthiest states. Yale New Haven Hospital's behavioral health programs serve both communities to some degree, and community mental health centers provide publicly funded care. Common therapy concerns range from academic perfectionism and identity stress in the Yale community to trauma, depression, economic anxiety, and systemic inequality for the city's permanent working-class and low-income residents.
