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.

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.

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
