Forgiveness
Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
Forgiveness is often a core issue in therapy and many people are able to forgive as a necessary part of their own healing. However, no one can tell you that you have to forgive or that it is time to let things go because forgiveness is a process and part of other work that you do and it is up to you when you decide you can forgive and let go. Forgiveness can be a one-time decision or it can be an attitude you take in life. When you develop an attitude of forgiveness and compassion, you may find you are less stressed and less focused on what other people say and do, and are more focused on yourself, finding your own power and peace.

Forgiveness
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When trust has been broken, many wonder if their relationship can ever feel normal again. Whether you're navigating betrayal, past hurts, or years of disconnection, repair is possible, but it takes more than just saying “sorry.” I help couples rebuild the trust, so you can forgive, change the patterns that led to relationship injury, and feel relaxed with one another.

Forgiveness
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Forgiveness is one of the most misused words in the language. It gets deployed as a demand — as though the person who was hurt owes the one who hurt them a resolution. Real forgiveness, when it comes, is not a decision. It is something that happens when a person has been allowed to fully inhabit their anger, their grief, the reality of what was taken. You cannot skip to the end. The therapeutic work is in everything that comes before — the parts no one wants to stay with.

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
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is not a destination, but a place to visit and spend time. When people are betrayed either by a friend, family member, romantic partner, or co-worker, the hurt is profound. Sometimes, as with someone who has passed, there is no opportunity to gain closure. Forgiveness work is about exploring your feelings, but also learning skills you can use to work through the pain and get to a place of acceptance.

Akron's identity as the 'Rubber City' — once the world capital of tire manufacturing — has given way to a post-industrial economy navigating transformation, and therapists here frequently address the long-term psychological effects of deindustrialization: economic stress, community grief, and the identity challenges of a workforce that has had to reinvent itself across generations. The city is home to the University of Akron and has a growing health sciences and polymer science sector, creating a more economically diverse population than its industrial reputation suggests. Summa Health System and Cleveland Clinic Akron General provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community concentrated in West Akron, Fairlawn, and the Highland Square neighborhood. Akron's significant Black community and the city's ongoing recovery from decades of economic decline shape a therapy culture in which community resilience and racial equity are recurring clinical themes.
