Forgiveness therapists in Port Charlotte, Florida FL
Pamela Saladino
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S., M.A., LMHC, CHP
Forgiveness is a spiritual but not necessarily a religious practice. It can be important in healing, however, as holding onto past pain affects not only how we perceive our past, but also affects our present and future.

After forgiving someone, should we keep them in our lives? To make mistakes is human. To apologize for those mistakes is extremely human. David created a powerful 4 step forgiveness program that is incredibly unique, and works with any situation from betrayal to incest, rape , resentments and more.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.

Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Forgiveness is necessary, but empty in the absence of prior condemnation. We need to forgive, but often need assistance in first fully feeling the hurts that require forgiveness. Holding onto resentment is like drinking the poison and expecting the other person to die.
