Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Forgiveness can feel complicated, especially when you’ve been deeply hurt. It’s not about minimizing what happened or forcing yourself to “get over it.” In therapy, we explore what forgiveness means to you and how to release the emotional weight in a way that supports your healing and growth.

Patrick R. Gunderson, Ph.D., PLLC
Psychologist, PhD
As my doctoral dissertation focused on forgiveness, I consider myself a specialist in this area of psychology. Forgiveness is a difficult process to navigate, and it is especially challenging when we need to forgive ourselves. I can help in developing acceptance and understanding, resolving associated guilt and self-blame, and improving relationships with others and yourself.

Rachel Leth

Forgiveness can be one of the most difficult—and freeing—parts of healing. I help clients process hurt, anger, and betrayal at their own pace, exploring what forgiveness truly means while honoring boundaries, emotional safety, and personal values.

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.
