Kathy Pflederer
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, B.S.Nursing, MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling,
I help clients explore forgiveness in a way that honors the depth of their hurt while making room for healing and freedom. Therapy can help you work through anger, resentment, betrayal, and unresolved pain without minimizing what happened or losing healthy boundaries.

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.

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.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unforgiveness keeps the old identity running. Resentment, guilt, and unresolved hurt aren't just emotional they're wired into your nervous system and show up in how you perform, lead, and relate. Through Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy, I work at the subconscious level to neutralize the emotional charge attached to past events, freeing up the mental bandwidth high performers need to operate at full capacity.

Peoria is a central Illinois city historically associated with the phrase 'Will it play in Peoria?'—a cultural benchmark for mainstream American taste—and home to major Caterpillar Inc. operations—the company that has shaped the city's industrial identity and workforce for generations. The city has faced significant challenges from deindustrialization and population decline, and OSF HealthCare's large integrated health system—including behavioral health services—is one of the most significant mental health resources for central Illinois. Bradley University contributes a student population and some counseling capacity, and a private therapy sector serves the professional and healthcare community. Common therapy concerns include economic anxiety tied to Caterpillar's global business cycles, depression and anxiety in a community navigating population and economic decline, industrial workforce stress, and the mental health challenges of mid-size Midwestern cities working to reimagine their futures.
