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.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
When someone has hurt you deeply, you may find yourself caught between wanting to move forward and feeling that doing so would mean minimizing what happened or letting the other person off the hook. You may replay the injury, long for acknowledgment or accountability, or feel pressured to forgive before you've fully processed your anger and grief. I help clients explore what forgiveness means to them, what remains unresolved, and what they need in order to feel less defined or constrained by the injury. Forgiveness does not have to mean reconciliation, excusing harm, or abandoning your boundaries; our work is about finding a path toward resolution that honors your experience and feels authentic to you.

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.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I help clients explore forgiveness in a way that feels authentic, personal, and aligned with their values. This may include self-forgiveness or forgiveness of others, always at a pace that feels safe and without pressure or expectation to forgive before you are ready. Together, we work to understand the emotional weight carried from past experiences, create space for processing, and gently explore what release and acceptance might look like for you. My approach is supportive and nonjudgmental, focused on helping you find clarity, emotional relief, and a deeper sense of inner peace throughout your healing journey. If you’re curious about working through forgiveness in a meaningful way, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more
