Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Forgiveness is one of the most misused words in the language. It gets deployed as a demand — as though the person who was hurt owes the one who hurt them a resolution. Real forgiveness, when it comes, is not a decision. It is something that happens when a person has been allowed to fully inhabit their anger, their grief, the reality of what was taken. You cannot skip to the end. The therapeutic work is in everything that comes before — the parts no one wants to stay with.

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.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Forgiveness for high-performing men is rarely about forgiving others — it's about releasing the self-criticism, shame, and resentment they've been carrying for years without ever examining the weight. I work with men through Character Driven Therapy to explore what forgiveness actually means, what makes it feel impossible, and how holding onto resentment and self-blame quietly erodes the internal stability they've worked so hard to build. Forgiveness isn't weakness — it's one of the most demanding things a driven man can choose to do.

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.
