Forgiveness
Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with adults who struggle with letting go of resentment, anger, or past hurts, including conflicts in relationships, family, or personal experiences. Many clients find that holding on to these feelings impacts their emotional well-being, relationships, and sense of peace. My approach helps clients explore the underlying emotions, gain perspective, and develop strategies for self-compassion and healthy boundaries, supporting the process of forgiveness in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and emotionally freeing.

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
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
Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
Forgiveness is a complex process that's often misunderstood—it's not about condoning harmful behavior but about freeing yourself from the weight of resentment. I help clients explore what forgiveness means for them personally and work through the emotional barriers that keep them stuck in anger or hurt. Through this therapeutic process, many find greater peace and the ability to move forward unburdened by the past.

14 Years Experience
Online in Buffalo, NY New York (Online Only)
Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
