Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
For clients looking for therapy to help them forgive someone they are close to or who hope that someone will forgive them, I provide humanistic, positive, client-centered therapy. This approach allows you to explore feelings without judgment, contemplate the next steps in a safe space, and learn how to overcome painful feelings. Even if you are not in contact with the person you want to forgive or receive forgiveness from, we can use our sessions to help you find resolution and comfort.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Forgiveness is often confused with trust. Forgiveness involves giving up expectations, acceptance of the situation, and compassion for self and others.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Whether you got betrayed or did something to hurt someone else, approaching forgiveness is not easy. There are complex factors involved, including our personal histories and the current context of the situation. Sometimes taking responsibility looks differently than we first thought, and that too can be hard to accept. When we approach forgiveness with respect for ourselves and the other person, we can approach it with dignity. Humans mess up, and humans can make amends or repair what's possible to repair. We can forgive without returning to the same situation. We can forgive and need to address the issue again later, from another layer or standpoint. Forgiveness is a process, that hopefully results- after addressing harm or hurt thoroughly- in feeling lighter, freer, and happier.

Emily Rowe
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness, whether of yourself or others, can be a difficult and complex process. I work with clients who are struggling with the emotional weight of unresolved hurt, guilt, or resentment. Together, we’ll explore what forgiveness means for you, helping you find peace and move forward. Using evidence-based therapies like CBT and ACT, we’ll work on releasing past pain and creating space for healing and personal growth.

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.
