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.

Honest forgiveness it as the process that brings us to a place of peace in our hearts and acceptance that the past cannot be changed. The acceptance, that is achieved, will liberate us to become fully active again in our lives and a become a new influence. When we choose not to forgive we replay the circumstance in our mind over and over. We become a prisoner to our own history and stuck in the past and our future is absent of being in a place of being connected in our relationship. When we withhold forgiveness we can hurt ourselves.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I delve into the tender yet powerful realm of forgiveness. Understanding that forgiveness is often a journey of the heart fraught with complex emotions, I offer a compassionate and empathic space for clients. Together, we gently navigate the pain of past hurts, betrayal, and disappointment. My approach aims to guide clients towards releasing the burdens of resentment and anger, unlocking a path to healing and inner peace. It’s a transformative process, fostering self-compassion and the strength to forgive others, and perhaps most importantly, oneself. This journey is about rekindling a sense of freedom and lightness, opening the heart to the possibilities of renewed connections and a future unshackled from the past.

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.

Forgiveness is not always easy and can take time, especially when desiring to forgive ourselves. It's important to be curious about what forgiveness means to you and how to reach it in an authentic way.
