Forgiveness
Chuck Chapman
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Forgiveness is not about pretending something didn’t hurt. It’s not about minimizing the impact or “just letting it go.” Most men have been taught to swallow pain, move on quickly, or stay silent to avoid conflict. But when hurt is never acknowledged, it doesn’t disappear. It settles into the body as tension, resentment, numbness, or distance. It shapes how you trust, how you love, and how close you allow others to get to you. Forgiveness isn’t something you force your way into—it’s something that grows naturally when you have space to honor what actually happened.
In our work, forgiveness begins with truth. We slow down enough to name the wound, the loss, and the emotional impact—whether it came from a parent, a partner, a betrayal, or even yourself. We create the space for grief, anger, confusion, and the longing for things to have been different. Only then can forgiveness become something real—not a performance of being “the bigger person,” but a quiet release of the weight you’ve been carrying. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was okay. It means you are choosing not to live defined by it anymore.
For many men, the hardest forgiveness is self-forgiveness. The shame of past choices can feel like a private prison. But shame is not a life sentence. Together, we learn how to look at yourself with honesty, compassion, and courage. Forgiveness is not weak. It is strength—strength rooted in truth, healing, and freedom. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.

Forgiveness
Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Forgiveness is the intentional, voluntary process of releasing feelings of resentment, anger, and vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, or self for choices that stem from emotional reactions. I help clients make a conscious decision to let go of a grudge to achieve peace of mind, improved mental and physical health, and to achieve personal healing.

Forgiveness
Sonya M Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Forgiveness is challenging work and I understand how it can be multifaceted and layered. We will work together on the goals you want to work on. We will proceed with identifying areas where you may need to forgive others or yourself and process the psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical hurt associated. You'll learn how to let-go of the past and take steps to free yourself of unforgiveness and the associated emotions that can weigh us down.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
