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.

Forgiveness
Ruth Saunders
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.ED, Resident
Letting go of hurt and resentment can be incredibly challenging, especially when you were mistreated in ways that left you traumatized. Together, we’ll navigate your feelings at your own pace, allowing you to express your thoughts freely.
Through thoughtful reflection, we can unpack the layers of your experience and identify what forgiveness might look like for you. Forgiveness is all about you, not about the person who hurt you. It's about reclaiming your life without living in resentment. I’ll support you in recognizing the boundaries between forgiving and forgetting and help you find peace without compromising your feelings. The journey to forgiveness is personal, and I’m here to walk alongside you as we work towards healing and understanding.

Forgiveness
Dr. Sven Schild
Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with forgiveness involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). Through ACT, clients learn to accept their emotions and commit to value-driven actions, fostering a deeper understanding and willingness to forgive. EMDR helps process and resolve traumatic memories that may hinder forgiveness, allowing clients to release past hurts and move forward. SE addresses the physiological aspects of holding onto grudges, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of inner peace. This holistic approach facilitates genuine forgiveness, promoting emotional healing and overall well-being.

Forgiveness
Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
It is so easy to hold on to anger, resentment, self-criticism, rage, guilt, shame, and negative views of ourselves and others, yet all the research suggests that letting go and engaging in forgiveness is the healthiest solution for the one who forgives. It is hard to learn to forgive the self and others, but I believe we are all capable of working through that which keeps us stuck in the painful feelings and moving to a place of forgiveness.
