Forgiveness
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.

Forgiveness
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.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
