Forgiveness
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.

Forgiveness
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.
