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.

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

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is not about what the other person did. Its not saying that it is OK what they did. Forgiveness is about letting go of the anger and softening so that you are not carrying around the burden of the anger. While this is very hard, it is possible.
