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.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is not a simple decision, and it does not mean excusing what happened. We can take a thoughtful approach that respects your values and your boundaries. Sometimes the goal is forgiveness, and sometimes it is clarity and release. Either way, the work is about loosening the hold of the past so you can move forward with more peace and self-respect.

Full Circle Mental Health LLC
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LISW
Forgiveness is one of the most complex emotional journeys a human can undertake, and it is frequently misunderstood as condoning harm, forgetting past wounds, or forcing an unwanted reconciliation. Whether you are struggling to forgive someone who deeply hurt you, wrestling with religious or cultural pressures to "forgive and forget," or carrying the heavy weight of self-blame, I provide a safe, telehealth space across Ohio to help you untangle this process on your own terms.
At Full Circle Mental Health LLC, I believe that true forgiveness is an internal act of self-liberation, not a gift given to the person who harmed you. Grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework, I help individuals, couples, and blended families navigate this nuanced landscape without judgment.
You set the pace, and you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will look at your whole picture, honor your innate resilience, and build a personalized virtual roadmap. Our work will focus on deepening your self-compassion, untangling complex grief, and releasing the grip of past wounds so you can reclaim your personal power and step into an authentic, peaceful future.

Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Holding onto hurt, resentment, or guilt can feel heavy and exhausting. Whether it’s about something someone else did or something you’re struggling to forgive in yourself, these feelings can impact your relationships and overall well-being. I help teens and young adults work through these experiences at their own pace, making space for understanding, self-compassion, and healing. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding a way to move forward with greater peace and clarity.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Forgiveness is not about excusing harm or forcing yourself to bypass your feelings. It’s about freeing yourself from the ongoing weight of what happened. This process can involve processing anger, grief, and complex emotions. Together, we move at a pace that honors your experience, helping you process what remains unresolved so that you can reclaim your energy, clarity, and sense of agency.

Cleveland carries a post-industrial identity with deep civic pride, and the mental health effects of decades of economic decline — job loss, population contraction, and community stress — are themes many local therapists engage with regularly. The city is home to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the world's premier medical institutions, which maintains extensive psychiatric and behavioral health services alongside a large private practice community concentrated in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, and Lakewood. Cleveland's large Black community and history of racial inequity drive demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and social justice themes. University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center provides additional institutional mental health resources in a city with a well-established independent practice community.
