Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
Holding onto hurt, anger, resentment, betrayal, or unresolved emotional pain can affect your mental health, relationships, self-esteem, and ability to move forward. Our forgiveness counseling and emotional healing therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental environment for individuals who are struggling to heal from painful experiences, broken trust, relationship conflict, family wounds, betrayal, divorce, emotional abuse, or other unresolved hurts.
We understand that forgiveness does not mean forgetting, excusing harmful behavior, minimizing what happened, or allowing someone who hurt you back into your life. Instead, counseling can help you explore what forgiveness means for you while processing difficult emotions, establishing healthy boundaries, reducing resentment, and finding greater emotional peace.
Through individualized counseling, we help clients work through anger, resentment, grief, betrayal, relationship trauma, trust issues, and unresolved emotional pain. Our clinicians support clients in developing healthier coping strategies, strengthening emotional awareness, rebuilding self-worth, and making decisions about relationships and boundaries that support their emotional well-being.
Whether you are struggling to forgive a spouse, former partner, parent, family member, friend, or yourself, forgiveness counseling can provide a path toward healing without requiring reconciliation. Our goal is to help you release the emotional burden of the past so that it no longer has the same power over your present or your future.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.

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.

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