Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
You deserve to move through resentment and hurt so you can truly feel relief, beyond just telling yourself to “let it go.” Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the past, it’s about freeing yourself from it. Using an experiential, emotion-focused approach, we'll process what’s unresolved in a safe and supportive way so you can naturally reach a place of clarity, peace, and emotional freedom.

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.

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.

Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as something we do for the person who hurt us. In reality, forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. It doesn't mean excusing harmful behavior, forgetting what happened, or allowing someone back into your life. It means releasing the emotional burden that keeps you tied to the pain. Together, we'll explore what forgiveness means for you, process unresolved hurt, and help you move forward with greater peace, freedom, and emotional well-being.

Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The area is home to world-class mental health institutions including Massachusetts General Hospital and nearby McLean Hospital in Belmont, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
