Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
The problem with holding onto anger is that it keeps you in misery. It’s as if a fist inside of you is ready to strike, and where there’s a ready fist, it’s hard to feel happy. Also, holding onto anger ties you to the person you’re angry at. You will never be free of that person unless and until you find a way to forgive him or her. It is important to recognize that forgiving does not mean allowing continuing abuse, or even necessarily being in contact with someone who severely hurt you in the past. Rather, forgiving lets you restore the normal flow of energy within yourself and opens your heart again to love. It means completely accepting the sadness of the experience that led to pain, and embracing the lessons offered by that experience. It means letting go of anger and instead, cultivating wisdom, and that can be difficult. That’s where coaching can be so helpful. I'll help you to shift the energy that has you bound in a knot. Whether you need help forgiving your parents, or forgiving your children, or forgiving neighbors or friends or yourself or even people you barely know, let's work together so you can return you to the place of love and peace and joy where life feels good again.

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.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Forgiveness is often talked about like it’s something you should do—quickly, quietly, and without complexity. But for many people, it’s not that simple. When you’ve been hurt, forgiveness can bring up anger, confusion, pressure, or even resistance—especially if it’s been framed as something you owe to others or something required to “move on.” Cultural, religious, and family messages can add another layer, shaping how forgiveness is defined and whether it feels like a choice at all.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t treat forgiveness as an expectation or a finish line. We help you slow down and figure out what forgiveness actually means to you—if it’s something you even want, and what it might look like on your terms. This often starts with fully processing what happened, acknowledging the impact, and rebuilding a sense of safety and clarity within yourself. From there, we support you in defining your own boundaries, values, and next steps—whether that includes forgiveness, distance, repair, or something else entirely. This work is about reclaiming your agency, not forcing a resolution that doesn’t feel real.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach forgiveness as a central aspect of healing, drawing upon psychological insights and Christian teachings. Recognizing forgiveness as a transformative and freeing process, I integrate biblical principles on forgiveness, love, and grace into therapy sessions. Emphasizing the example of Christ's forgiveness, I encourage clients to explore their faith and find strength in extending forgiveness to others and themselves. The therapeutic process may involve prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on the importance of forgiveness in the Christian journey. I guide individuals in understanding the relational and emotional benefits of forgiveness while addressing any barriers that may hinder the process. This integrative approach seeks to help clients navigate the complexities of forgiveness, fostering emotional healing and reconciliation within the framework of their Christian beliefs.
