Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Struggling with forgiveness, whether it’s towards yourself or someone else, can become all consuming. So much of your day may be colored with feelings of guilt, anger, or betrayal—even during moments that are supposed to be joyful. This experience may be compounded by feeling under-resourced with places or people you feel safe to openly and authentically process what is coming up for you. I aim to provide a sacred, brave space where you can feel empowered to commune with all your feelings in their raw form. A space where you feel safe to process your anger, or even to learn how to support yourself through experiences of shame and regret. Most importantly when working on forgiveness, my ambition is to support a process culminating in your ability to move forward with intention, choice, and agency.

Forgiveness is often about emotional release, not excusing harm. We guide clients in exploring hurt, unmet needs, and internal conflict so they can move toward a more peaceful relationship with themselves and others. The process unfolds at a pace that feels safe and respectful.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Forgiveness is for ourselves not for the other person(s). If we are harboring resentments and grudges with people in our lives it's like pointing the finger and wanting them to suffer while we drink the poison. The hardest thing to do is forgive ourselves. Usually, we will blame then eventually forgive another person. Then we will blame and eventually forgive God. But ourselves? It's important to be gentle with ourselves for if we cannot forgive ourselves it becomes more difficult to forgive others. I have several different processes of forgiveness that will ultimately set us free! And, by the way, forgiveness does not mean forget. We learn from our own and others character defects. So sometimes it means we forgive and change the nature of our relationship with a person so we don't put ourselves in that or similar situations again.

Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
"Revenge is a kiss. This time I won't miss." That's only in James Bond's movies. When you forgive, you feel peace and you can start again. I will help you forgive and heal by hypnotherapy. Later, I will help you become a new you. Life is too short to lead an unforgiving life.
Hypnotherapy is considered an effective tool for facilitating forgiveness by addressing subconscious emotional baggage and releasing deeply held resentment or anger. It helps individuals move past lingering negativity, offering techniques to process pain, reduce self-criticism, and foster self-compassion and forgive whoever hurt you.

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.

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
