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.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Forgiveness of self and others is really everything. This is not to say one is condoning the bad behaviour. Forgiveness and the path toward it can be the most transformative healing journey that can literally save a person's life.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Forgiveness is often far more complex than simply “letting go.” Many people find that the hardest part is not forgiving others — it is learning how to forgive themselves.
Whether you are carrying shame from past choices, abuse, survival patterns, or the painful reality that being human sometimes means we have hurt others or ourselves, therapy can help you approach that pain with greater honesty and compassion.
My approach is about learning, accountability, self-understanding, and moving forward. Together, we work on releasing what keeps you stuck, making meaning from what you have lived through, and focusing on growth, healing, and action rather than remaining trapped in shame or old patterns.

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.

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.

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
I support individuals who are carrying unresolved hurt, betrayal, conflict, or self-blame. Forgiveness can sometimes feel impossible but it can also be deeply freeing. In our work together, forgiveness is not about excusing harm or rushing the healing process. It’s about helping you release what no longer serves you and reclaim your peace.
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can safely explore difficult emotions, set healthy boundaries, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you are seeking closure, reconciliation, or self-forgiveness, we will move at a pace that feels right for you.

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.

Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as excusing harm, but in therapy, it is about releasing the weight of resentment and finding inner peace. Our approach helps you explore both the emotions tied to past hurts and the patterns that keep you stuck, using trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential methods. By integrating Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we guide you in acknowledging pain, cultivating self-compassion, and making conscious choices about how to move forward. This process supports emotional freedom, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of empowerment. Sessions are available in-person in Toronto and virtually across Ontario, providing accessible support wherever you are.

As a compassionate therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex and transformative journey of forgiveness.

I believe that forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing and growth, allowing individuals to break free from the chains of pain and find inner peace.

Through this transformative process, you will gain a deeper understanding of forgiveness as a personal choice and empower yourself to heal, rebuild trust, and foster healthier relationships. My mission is to support you on your journey towards forgiveness, helping you find the strength, resilience, and inner peace necessary to create a more fulfilling and authentic life.

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.

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.

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.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
