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.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Forgiveness is a process that affects both the mind and the body, often carrying tension, resistance, or emotional heaviness. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping individuals explore and release difficult emotions, cultivate empathy and understanding, and move toward a sense of emotional freedom, healing, and inner peace.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Are resentment, regret, or self-blame keeping you tied to the past?
You may find yourself replaying painful experiences, caught in cycles of anger, disappointment, guilt, or self-doubt. Perhaps you're looking for a way to understand what happened, make peace with what you can't change, and feel less burdened by the past.
Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting, minimizing, excusing, or reconciling with someone who has hurt you. And it doesn't require you to say or do anything for another person. Forgiveness can be a deeply personal process of releasing some of the emotional weight you've been carrying and reconnecting with yourself.
Together, we'll explore your experience with compassion and curiosity, developing ways to work with difficult emotions while strengthening your relationship with yourself. Where appropriate, EMDR can also help process distressing experiences and memories that continue to carry emotional weight.
The goal isn't to erase the past. It's to help you reclaim more of your present—making room for greater self-compassion, freedom, and the life you want to live now.

Tamika Schilbe Cole
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, CECP
Forgiveness is hard for all of us at times, and cannot be forced. Sometime there are even good reasons why we aren't able to forgive. When our lack of forgiveness keeps us up at night or prevents us from experiencing joy, it's a good time to get professional support. Together we can unpack the nuances of your situation and work toward creating a freer and clearer path ahead.
