Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
At Therapedia Centre, we offer psychotherapy for forgiveness in Toronto, North York, East York, and Yorkville, helping individuals release resentment and emotional pain that keep them stuck in the past. Our therapists guide clients through a compassionate process of understanding, acceptance, and emotional healing using approaches such as Mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Through guided reflection and emotional awareness, clients learn that forgiveness is not about condoning hurtful behavior, but about freeing themselves from its impact. Our goal is to support inner peace, self-compassion, and emotional closure, allowing individuals to move forward with strength and clarity.

Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Forgiveness is a process like anything else; it takes time and it is important to realize it is ultimately optional. Forgiveness is for us; not for them and it doesn't mean condoning their behavior. It simply means in time we move on from it though this can take time.

Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. Dip Ish, CGPA, CHTA
The power of forgiveness is often very surprising and many have difficulty with this. It is often conflated with forgetting and being used as a doormat or letting someone off scot free. The hardest one to forgive is often oneself.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Forgiveness can be hard, especially when you have felt hurt, betrayed or let down. Whether you are looking to forgive others or forgive yourself, we provide support to radically accept what occurred and find ways to move forward in life. Through an exploration of compassion, naming one's needs, and addressing accountability, while recognizing that all humans are imperfect, we can work through forgiveness-an act that can liberate yourself from feelings of bitterness, anger and resentment.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Forgiveness is a process where someone who has been wronged chooses to let go of their resentment, and treat the wrongdoer with compassion. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or condoning the wrongdoing, granting legal mercy, or reconciling a relationship. You can forgive a person while in no way believing that their actions were acceptable or justified.
Clients who continue to hang on to painful emotions related to a mistreatment—even though they have every right to hold those emotions—can receive great benefit from forgiveness therapy. A number of positive outcomes, such as reductions in depression, resentment, and rumination, have been associated with 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.

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.

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.
