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.

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.

William Rees
Life Coach, PCC
Forgiveness is an opportunity to loosen the grip of past hurts, release resentment, and make peace with experiences that may still be affecting your present. I help clients explore forgiveness with compassion and curiosity—not by minimizing what happened, but by finding a way forward that restores their sense of freedom, self-trust, and emotional well-being.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Forgiveness is at the heart of Christian healing, yet it can be one of the most difficult steps to take. Whether you’re struggling to forgive others or to forgive yourself, we’ll explore this process together through both a clinical and faith-based lens. In a supportive, grace-filled space, we’ll reflect on the spiritual meaning of forgiveness, release the burdens of resentment or guilt, and move toward peace, freedom, and renewal in Christ.
