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.

Jennifer Buchwald
Psychologist, Psy.D.
"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and to discover that the prisoner was you". Issues around forgiveness can be complicated and emotional. I help people articulate their thoughts and feelings and better understand themselves as they naviagate these issues and make decisions about forgiveness that feel right to them.
