Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in forgiveness, I provide compassionate and effective treatment for clients who have experienced mistreatment and wish to move forward in a way that aligns with their lives. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. Forgiving those who have harmed us or forgiving ourselves for past mistakes is often a crucial step in the healing process. I focus on helping clients achieve forgiveness to promote self-healing, self-empowerment, and personal liberation, enabling them to let go of anger and find peace.

Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When trust has been broken, many wonder if their relationship can ever feel normal again. Whether you're navigating betrayal, past hurts, or years of disconnection, repair is possible, but it takes more than just saying “sorry.” I help couples rebuild the trust, so you can forgive, change the patterns that led to relationship injury, and feel relaxed with one another.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
You deserve to move through resentment and hurt so you can truly feel relief, beyond just telling yourself to “let it go.” Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the past, it’s about freeing yourself from it. Using an experiential, emotion-focused approach, we'll process what’s unresolved in a safe and supportive way so you can naturally reach a place of clarity, peace, and emotional freedom.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who are struggling to let go of resentment, anger, hurt, or emotional pain connected to past experiences or relationships. My approach to forgiveness is not about excusing what happened, forgetting, or forcing reconciliation; instead, we explore what your mind, body, and emotions may still be holding onto and what is needed for genuine healing. Through trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential work, I help clients process unresolved emotions, release patterns that may be keeping them connected to the past, and reconnect with a greater sense of peace and self-trust. Forgiveness can become a process of choosing yourself, reclaiming your emotional freedom, and moving forward without allowing what happened to continue defining your present.

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.
