Forgiveness
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.

Forgiveness
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.

Forgiveness
New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Forgiveness can be one of the most freeing—but also most challenging—steps in emotional and spiritual healing. Whether you are struggling to forgive yourself or someone else, unresolved hurt can keep you trapped in anger, resentment, or shame. In therapy, we help clients gently explore the pain, understand the impact of holding onto it, and work toward releasing it in a way that honors both their feelings and God’s truth. Through faith-informed guidance and practical therapeutic tools, forgiveness counseling supports healing, emotional freedom, and restoration—helping you experience peace, wholeness, and healthier relationships.
