Forgiveness
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Forgiveness is complicated and cannot be forced. In therapy, forgiveness is not about pretending something didn’t hurt or excusing harmful behavior. Instead, we explore what forgiveness might mean for you—whether that is letting go, setting boundaries, grieving, or finding a way to move forward without carrying the same weight.

Forgiveness
Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing harm. It’s about releasing what no longer needs to be carried. I help clients work through betrayal, resentment, and grief by honoring the pain and listening to what their body still holds. Using somatic and reflective practices, we create space for emotional clarity and self-compassion, so that forgiveness, if and when it comes, feels honest and freeing.

Forgiveness
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Forgiveness can be a deeply personal and often misunderstood process. In my work, it is never imposed or rushed. Through a trauma-informed lens, we explore what forgiveness means for you, creating space for understanding, boundaries, and healing in a way that respects your experience and pace.

Forgiveness
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as something owed to someone else, when really it’s a process that happens within the person carrying the hurt. I work with clients to process anger and grief at their own pace, without pressure to arrive at forgiveness before they’re genuinely ready, or at all.
