Forgiveness
Dr. Shelley Sommerfeldt
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is a powerful and difficult process, whether you’re working to forgive others in your life or yourself. In my practice, I help clients navigate the emotional layers of hurt, resentment, and guilt to find healing and freedom. Through guided support, we’ll work toward letting go of the past and creating space for peace, growth, and healthier relationships.

Forgiveness
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In helping patients struggling with forgiveness, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their feelings and experiences. Through therapy, we work together to understand the root causes of their struggles with forgiveness, such as past traumas or deeply held beliefs. I offer techniques and strategies to help them process their emotions, including mindfulness, journaling, and guided imagery. We also explore the concept of empathy, helping patients understand the perspective of the person who wronged them. Together, we identify and challenge any barriers to forgiveness, such as resentment or fear of vulnerability. My goal is to empower patients to find their own path to forgiveness, whether it involves reconciliation or simply letting go of negative emotions and moving forward with their lives.

Forgiveness
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.

Forgiveness
Rosa Martins - Rosa Martins Therapy
Life Coach, Systemic Therapist, Family Constellation Practitioner
Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood processes in healing. It isn't about excusing what happened — it's about releasing the weight of it from your own body and field. Through family constellation work and energetic practice, I help clients understand the systemic roots of resentment and pain, and find a path toward release that honors both their experience and their lineage. True forgiveness often becomes possible only when we see the full picture of what we're carrying.
