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.

Dr. Evelyn Comber
Psychologist, L.C.P.C., Ph.D., M.A., M.P.C., M.H.S., B.G.S.
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as something we do for someone else. It's not-it is for us. And there is much more to it than just saying "I forgive them." Call to talk over what, who, and why you want to forgive.

Forgiveness
Lauren, Simpson
Psychologist, Psy. D, LP, TIYT, CCTP-II
Many individuals who have experienced hurt in a relationship often believe that forgiveness is impossible unless the person who caused the harm acknowledges their actions. However, forgiveness is not about the wrongdoer; rather, it is about empowering the person who was harmed to release the hold that the painful event has on their present life.
Importantly, forgiving someone does not require that the person who caused the harm "deserves" forgiveness. Furthermore, forgiveness does not obligate the person who was harmed to maintain or resume a relationship with the individual who hurt them. Instead, forgiveness is a process that allows those affected by harm to reclaim their sense of agency and move forward, independent of the other person's actions or involvement. Through therapy, you can learn to connect to your own hurt with compassion so that you can move forward.

Michael Keigher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Forgiveness isn’t about pretending it didn’t hurt — it’s about finding a way forward that doesn’t keep you stuck in someone else’s story. Whether you’re struggling to forgive someone else or yourself, I hold space for the complexity and help you move toward release, not repression.
