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.

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.

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.

Ebony Woney
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Forgiveness is a complex and deeply personal process that does not mean excusing harm or forgetting your experience. I help clients explore what forgiveness means for them, process unresolved pain, and release emotional burdens that may be holding them back. Together, we’ll focus on healing in a way that honors your story while creating space for peace and growth.
