Forgiveness
Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with forgiveness, I help clients explore the emotions, experiences, and patterns that may make it difficult to let go of hurt or resentment. Forgiveness is not about minimizing what happened, but about creating space for healing and freedom from the weight of the past. Through compassionate exploration, nervous system awareness, and mind-body practices, clients often begin to process unresolved feelings and move toward greater peace and emotional release.

Forgiveness
Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
We often carry a lot of resentment that is hard to know what to do with. We can work to uncover the ways in which we refuse to let go of certain feelings and resentments that, in the end, really just hurt us.

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.

Forgiveness
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.

Forgiveness
Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
I help individuals navigate the complex journey of forgiveness—whether it's forgiving themselves, someone who hurt them, or processing the pain of betrayal and unresolved wounds. Together, we explore what forgiveness truly means, work through the emotions that keep clients feeling stuck, and foster healing in a way that honors their experiences without minimizing the harm they've endured. My approach emphasizes healthy boundaries, emotional freedom, and reclaiming peace rather than simply moving on.
