Joty Deol
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, BEd, BA
Forgiveness can be one of the most challenging—and most freeing—steps on the path to healing. Whether you’re struggling to forgive someone else, or yourself, it’s okay if the process feels complicated, emotional, or even impossible at times.
I offer a gentle, non-judgmental space where we can explore your story, your pain, and your hopes for healing. Together, we’ll work to understand what forgiveness means for you—without pressure or expectation—and support you in moving forward in a way that aligns with your values, boundaries, and well-being. Drawing from mindfulness, narrative therapy, CBT, and solution-focused approaches, I’ll walk beside you as you work toward release, clarity, and peace.
Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting—it’s about freeing yourself to live more fully. You don’t have to do it alone.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Are you noticing that the burden of resentment or self-blame has become too difficult to carry? Do you find yourself stewing on events from the past - locked in painful waves of anger, regret, disappointment, and self-doubt? Are you looking for clarification and emotional freedom?
Learning to cultivate forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or denying the pain of your experience. It also doesn't mean having to say or do something for another person. It is all about doing something meaningful for you. It involves learning to give back to yourself what has been lost, reclaiming who you were before and nurturing self-forgiveness.
I am here for you, holding a safe and supportive space. Together you and I will explore ways to hold yourself kindly, develop skills to manage the pain and weather the emotional storms, and begin to reconnect with what is essential for how you want to live your life now.

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RP (Qualifying)
Do you feel like there is someone in your life you need to forgive, but feel like you can't? This may be a signal that there is more work to do before you can forgive. Is it possible that there is more to feel and accept before you can forgive? If you have been wronged, or have regrets, exploring this with a trusted person can help you move through what you are experiencing. Oftentimes, how we make sense of what has happened to us is at the root of our stuck-ness. My passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and irritable. I am interested in getting to know your experience and unique pain point.
We prioritize rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.

Whiteboard Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The ability to forgive is a central trait is helping people move past the negative emotions surrounding many family and relationship issues. While forgiveness is not required in all situations, for some, the issue of extending grace is paramount in helping escape the bondage of emotional upheaval and obsessive thinking.

Sara Tawadros
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div in Clinical Counselling
Forgiveness is the process of letting go of resentment or anger towards someone who has caused harm or hurt. It is a decision to release negative feelings and to move on from the pain caused by the actions of another person. Forgiveness is not about forgetting what happened or denying the harm that was caused, but rather it is about accepting that the event happened and choosing to let go of feelings of anger and resentment. Forgiveness can be difficult, but it can also be a powerful tool for healing and personal growth. It can help to improve relationships, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall well-being. While it may not always be easy, forgiveness can be an important step towards finding peace and moving forward in life.

Vilma Madramootoo
Registered Psychotherapist, Holistic Health Practitioner, Certified Health, Wellness and Life Coach
I help you break down the barriers of Forgiveness by offering focused-based techniques. Forgiveness means different things to different people. Sometimes it's a decision of "letting go" of toxic feelings that keep you stuck or trapped with an unpleasant experience or person. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you or making up with the person who caused the harm. Forgiveness helps you to go on with your life in a healthier way. Forgiving yourself is the first step of Self-love, Self-care, and Self-acceptance. You embrace your Truthfully.

Joan Samuel-Dennis, Ph.D
Registered Psychotherapist, RN-Psychotherapist
Forgiveness is a powerful pathway to healing, yet for children who grew up with violence or adversity, it was often never modeled or taught. Without guidance, forgiveness can feel like a confusing or even impossible task. In my practice, forgiveness is not about excusing harm—it is about truth-telling, releasing self-blame, and returning to your true identity.
The Becoming Method® is grounded in conscious forgiveness, which is very different from the emotional outbursts or surface-level letting go many of us have tried. Conscious forgiveness helps you see the identity you adopted in response to trauma and gently release it. Many people discover that, beneath their anger at those who harmed them, there is an even deeper anger directed at themselves. Through this process, we work together to process that self-blame, release it, and restore friendship with yourself. Forgiveness, in this way, becomes a practice of reconnection—body, mind, soul, and spirit—so you can live freely in your wholeness.
