Forgiveness
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
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.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Forgiveness is about loss and grief. Often people want to approach this as if it's just something we can do and move on. In therapy you'll learn what is keeping you stuck, how to talk about what you lost, and ways to begin moving though those difficult feelings.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
When chosen, forgiveness can be a powerful gift of freedom for yourself. But it is important to remember that forgiveness is not the same as forgetting or condoning harmful experiences. Forgiveness is not required or even recommended for all, but it can be a way to live life on your terms. Compassion for yourself and having experienced your pain is a starting place, and I'm here to support you along your journey.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
Forgiveness doesn't mean whoever you need to forgive gets a pass for what they did; it means you release yourself from the emotional prison you have become locked in with this person so you can be free and the people you love can get all of your presence.
