Patricia Scholl
Life Coach, CASAC trained, BA in Communications
Forgiveness is extremely important to find peace within. Holding on to anger, vengeance and resentment is not only exhausting, but it is draining your energy that should be going towards your life. Letting go frees you to focus on more important things.

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.

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.

Ren Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Forgiveness is not always an easy thing to access. There is no wrong or right way to reach forgiveness. I am here to work with you to process your experiences, understand what you are looking for, and maybe find some forgiveness. But, maybe not.

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.

KIND Counseling, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Unforgiveness is one of the biggest sources of mental health issues that we encounter as clinicians on a regular basis. Past hurt needs to be looked at realistically; and clients have to be willing to make tough decisions about relinquishing the pain that has plagued them for years, sometimes decades.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
For clients looking for therapy to help them forgive someone they are close to or who hope that someone will forgive them, I provide humanistic, positive, client-centered therapy. This approach allows you to explore feelings without judgment, contemplate the next steps in a safe space, and learn how to overcome painful feelings. Even if you are not in contact with the person you want to forgive or receive forgiveness from, we can use our sessions to help you find resolution and comfort.

New York City has the largest and most diverse therapy community in the world, with practitioners representing virtually every therapeutic modality, cultural background, and specialty area. The city's pace, density, and cost of living generate pervasive anxiety and burnout, while its diverse boroughs mean therapists fluent in dozens of languages serve communities from every corner of the globe. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone Health, and Weill Cornell Medicine anchor an extensive academic mental health infrastructure, supplemented by thousands of independent practitioners across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. New York's therapy culture is deeply embedded — many residents maintain years-long therapeutic relationships and consider finding the right therapist one of the more important decisions they make.
