Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Forgiveness is not about forgetting - it’s about finding freedom from the weight of resentment and hurt. In therapy, we explore what forgiveness truly means for you: how to grieve what was lost, hold boundaries with integrity, and allow compassion to emerge without abandoning yourself. Whether you’re healing after infidelity, betrayal, or relational pain, this work helps restore clarity and steadiness - creating room for trust, grace, and emotional repair to take root again.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with forgiving significant figures in your life can impede your happiness and ability to move forward. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to work through your desire to forgive and move forward. You can understand what you can and can't control, and if any of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Forgiveness is a profound act of reclaiming energy trapped in resentment and unconscious projection. By understanding the shadow dynamics that bind you, we facilitate a spiritual release from the cycle of grievance, restoring psychic wholeness, and allowing you to move forward with a lighter heart and clearer vision. We view forgiveness not as condoning harm, but as an alchemical process turning bitterness into wisdom. It is a spiritual practice detaching from the ego's demand for retribution, clearing the way for your soul to heal, and transforming wounds into deep compassion and inner liberty. True forgiveness often begins internally, by softening the inner critic and accepting your own humanity. From a Jungian view, this clears debris blocking your connection to the Self. Cultivating this inner grace naturally extends outward, resolving conflicts and fostering peace.

Brooklyn is home to one of the most culturally and economically diverse therapy communities in the United States, with practices concentrated in Park Slope, Fort Greene, Crown Heights, and Williamsburg serving an extraordinarily wide range of backgrounds and needs. The borough's large Caribbean, West African, Haitian, and Orthodox Jewish communities drive sustained demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists who understand the intersection of identity, faith, and mental health. Brooklyn's rapid gentrification and rising rents have become significant mental health stressors, and therapists frequently address the grief of displacement experienced by long-term residents alongside the adjustment challenges of newer arrivals. SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and Maimonides Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources for a borough of nearly three million people.
