Forgiveness
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Forgiveness is one of the most misused words in the language. It gets deployed as a demand — as though the person who was hurt owes the one who hurt them a resolution. Real forgiveness, when it comes, is not a decision. It is something that happens when a person has been allowed to fully inhabit their anger, their grief, the reality of what was taken. You cannot skip to the end. The therapeutic work is in everything that comes before — the parts no one wants to stay with.

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Forgiveness is a very complicated term. For some, they insist on needing to forgive, while others wonder if it is even necessary for their healing. We will explore what forgiveness means to you, and the role it may or may not play in your healing. Remember---forgiveness and boundaries are two different things, which is something we will explore together.

Forgiveness
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are carrying pain, anger, guilt, or unfinished emotional business from relationships that have been complicated or hurtful, including their relationship with themselves. Forgiveness is often misunderstood as excusing harm, minimizing what happened, or reconciling with someone who hurt you. In reality, many people come to therapy because they want relief from the internal weight of what happened and from the way they speak to themselves about it, not because they want to repair the relationship or “move on” before they are ready. You may feel torn between what you think you are supposed to feel and what you actually feel, or caught between loyalty, resentment, grief, and self‑protection. You might also feel stuck in self‑blame, replaying past choices and wishing you had done things differently.
People often seek this kind of work after emotional abuse, betrayal, estrangement, family conflict, or long histories of being the one who absorbs more than their share. These experiences can leave you questioning your reactions, doubting your worth, or feeling responsible for keeping the peace even when it costs you. Over time, the pressure to forgive, from others or from yourself, can create even more confusion, shame, and exhaustion.
In our work together, forgiveness is not a requirement or a destination. I am open to whatever feels most honest and supportive for you, whether that eventually includes forgiveness or not. The focus is on self‑forgiveness and inner relief. We explore what happened with clarity and compassion, how it has shaped your sense of self, and what you have been carrying alone. We make space for the parts of you that still feel hurt, protective, angry, or loyal, and the parts that long for softness and rest. The intention is to help you find a steadier, kinder way of relating to your own story, one that feels honest, grounded, and not dictated by pressure from others. If forgiveness, toward yourself or someone else, becomes part of that process, it can emerge naturally from understanding and self‑respect, not obligation.

Forgiveness
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is difficult. It happens when you feel ready to move the hurt from the forefront to the background and it can be extremely freeing; it helps us to move on. Sometimes forgiveness is for yourself, and other times it's being able to forgive another - either expressed to them, or to them for yourself if that isn't possible.
