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.

We support individuals in exploring and working through the process of forgiveness as a pathway toward emotional healing, relief, and personal growth. Through a compassionate and evidence-based therapeutic approach, clients are guided in understanding hurt, resentment, and relational pain while developing healthier ways to process and release these experiences. Our work emphasizes self-compassion, emotional clarity, and boundary-setting, helping clients move toward greater peace, acceptance, and improved well-being—at their own pace and in alignment with their values.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Every person is going to be hurt by someone else at some point in life. If a memory of hurt from another arises during a Rapid Transformational Therapy session, forgiveness or releasing can be included and be very beneficial for the person. However, they will not be compelled to forgive their hurter at that time, because it is every person's own right to choose when. It is encouraged to try to forgive at some future point, because it will help them heal. If it's a case where the person having the session is the one who caused hurt, there will be no judgment; they will be assisted in healing from and letting go of the guilt that it caused.

Forgiveness is the only way to free ourselves from the pain, disappointment, and anger that we develop when we get hurt. The course of forgiveness is a continuous and long journey. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. It enables us to gain peace of mind and opens the door for new possibilities.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are carrying pain, anger, guilt, or unfinished emotional business from relationships that have been complicated or hurtful, including their relationship with themselves. Forgiveness is often misunderstood as excusing harm, minimizing what happened, or reconciling with someone who hurt you. In reality, many people come to therapy because they want relief from the internal weight of what happened and from the way they speak to themselves about it, not because they want to repair the relationship or “move on” before they are ready. You may feel torn between what you think you are supposed to feel and what you actually feel, or caught between loyalty, resentment, grief, and self‑protection. You might also feel stuck in self‑blame, replaying past choices and wishing you had done things differently.
People often seek this kind of work after emotional abuse, betrayal, estrangement, family conflict, or long histories of being the one who absorbs more than their share. These experiences can leave you questioning your reactions, doubting your worth, or feeling responsible for keeping the peace even when it costs you. Over time, the pressure to forgive, from others or from yourself, can create even more confusion, shame, and exhaustion.
In our work together, forgiveness is not a requirement or a destination. I am open to whatever feels most honest and supportive for you, whether that eventually includes forgiveness or not. The focus is on self‑forgiveness and inner relief. We explore what happened with clarity and compassion, how it has shaped your sense of self, and what you have been carrying alone. We make space for the parts of you that still feel hurt, protective, angry, or loyal, and the parts that long for softness and rest. The intention is to help you find a steadier, kinder way of relating to your own story, one that feels honest, grounded, and not dictated by pressure from others. If forgiveness, toward yourself or someone else, becomes part of that process, it can emerge naturally from understanding and self‑respect, not obligation.
