Forgiveness
Florence MacGregor
Registered Psychotherapist, MFA, MPS, Embodiment Coach
Forgiveness is challenging when you are innocent and the perpetrator is not willing to be accountable for their actions. It is not something that happens over night and it is not always to even accept for yourselfm even if you are innocent. Patience, courage and allowing all of your emotions to be accepted with respect, serves to heal personal boundaries and respect. You are worthy of care, love and support.

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.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Sometimes bad things happen to nice people. We can find ourselves stuck as a result of these situations and it can be difficult to move forward or even see anything else. Our perspective can become distorted by the perceived "boulder in the middle of the road". Holding these negative emotions on a regular basis inside our bodies can even make us physical ill. If you are finding yourself dealing with this challenge, consider that hypnosis is an excellent tool you can use to reach the crux of the problem and allow you to move forward.

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.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you aren't able to forgive in order to move forward. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

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.

Fran Grove-White
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.

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
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.

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.
