Forgiveness
Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
Holding on to hurt, anger, or betrayal can feel heavy and keep you stuck in the past. Forgiveness isn’t about excusing what happened—it’s about freeing yourself from the pain that continues to weigh you down. In therapy, we’ll gently explore the hurt you’ve experienced, work through difficult emotions, and build pathways toward healing and peace. Together, we’ll focus on helping you release what no longer serves you and move forward with greater clarity, freedom, and self-compassion.

Forgiveness
Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Forgiveness is rarely a single, easy choice; it is a heavy, internal struggle. It requires you to sit with the pain of an injustice and consciously decide not to let resentment consume you, even though feelings of resentment may linger. Acknowledging and expressing this pain may not be the only ingredient, but it's an important component of navigating the difficult path of forgiveness. If you're struggling with bitterness, resentment, and/or forgiveness I hope you'll consider reaching out for support.

Forgiveness
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a requirement for healing, but I believe it is a deeply personal choice. Drawing on over 15 years of experience working with survivors of complex trauma and abuse, I understand that for some, choosing not to forgive is a vital act of self-protection and boundary-setting.
In our work, there is no pressure to reach a state of forgiveness to 'earn' your peace. Instead, we focus on helping your 'parts' find relief from the burden of the past. Whether you choose to forgive or you choose to hold your boundary, my goal is to help you move toward a life of clarity and internal stability—free from the judgment of others and the weight of old wounds.

Forgiveness
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Forgiveness is often far more complex than simply “letting go.” Many people find that the hardest part is not forgiving others — it is learning how to forgive themselves.
Whether you are carrying shame from past choices, abuse, survival patterns, or the painful reality that being human sometimes means we have hurt others or ourselves, therapy can help you approach that pain with greater honesty and compassion.
My approach is about learning, accountability, self-understanding, and moving forward. Together, we work on releasing what keeps you stuck, making meaning from what you have lived through, and focusing on growth, healing, and action rather than remaining trapped in shame or old patterns.

Forgiveness
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Forgiveness is deeply personal, and it should never be forced, rushed, or used to minimize harm. In therapy, we can explore what forgiveness means for you, whether that involves releasing self-blame, making sense of pain, grieving what happened, or finding peace without necessarily reconciling. The focus is on your healing, your boundaries, and your emotional freedom.

Forgiveness
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
I view forgiveness not as excusing someone’s harmful behavior, but as a way to release oneself from the heavy burden of resentment. I guide clients to first fully acknowledge and process their anger and pain, rather than forcing forgiveness prematurely. True forgiveness often grows from recognizing the pain or trauma that shaped the person who caused harm, which can ease judgment while honoring one’s own experience.
