Forgiveness
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.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Do you find yourself unable to forgive someone you care about? Is the pain of the injury too great? Has trust been shattered? Are you waiting to see justice prevail? When forgiveness is elusive it’s often because we’re in pain or angry. At Transforming Emotions, we will help you better understand what stands between you and forgiveness including the boundaries that need to be re-established, the healing that needs to occur, the blocks from the past that need to be removed, and even whether forgiveness is a necessary step in moving forward.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I gently guide clients on the transformative journey towards forgiveness, understanding its profound impact on emotional and mental health. By incorporating a blend of holistic strategies, such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness, alongside traditional psychotherapeutic tools, I help individuals navigate the complexities of forgiveness. This approach allows for the exploration and release of deeply held emotions, fostering a path to healing and reconciliation with oneself and others. We work together to build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop compassionate understanding, aiming to liberate clients from the burdens of past grievances. My supportive and empathetic approach is tailored to empower clients to embrace forgiveness, opening the door to inner peace and fostering healthier relationships. For those seeking to overcome the barriers to forgiveness and find a renewed sense of freedom and well-being, I am here to facilitate your journey with care and compassion.
