Forgiveness
Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Forgiveness isn't one-size-fits-all, and it is not the same as forgetting or excusing. I help you figure out what forgiveness would actually mean for you, if it's even the goal, and work through the grief and anger underneath it.

Forgiveness
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist, my approach to treating forgiveness is grounded in understanding its profound impact on mental health and well-being. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and narrative therapy, I guide individuals in exploring the complex emotions and beliefs surrounding forgiveness. By facilitating a process of self-reflection, empathy-building, and perspective-taking, I help clients cultivate compassion for themselves and others involved in the situation. Additionally, I assist individuals in setting boundaries, practicing assertiveness, and letting go of resentment to promote healing and release emotional burdens. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace forgiveness as a transformative process that fosters personal growth, resilience, and inner peace.

What is Forgiveness?
It’s helpful to distinguish between forgiveness and exoneration. Forgiveness is the internal process of releasing the heavy burden of resentment and the desire for retribution. Exoneration, on the other hand, implies that the person did nothing wrong or is "off the hook." You can forgive someone while still acknowledging that their actions were unacceptable.
Should I Forgive?
The question of "should" is deeply personal. A better question might be: Is it safe for me to do so? Emotional Safety: Does holding onto this anger protect you, or is it draining your energy? Physical Safety: Forgiveness does not mean putting yourself back in harm's way.
The Role of Boundaries
One of the biggest myths about forgiveness is that it requires reconciliation. Forgiving someone does not mean you have to bring them back into your life the way they were before—or at all. You can find peace with the past while maintaining a very firm "no" in the present.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself; a boundary is a gift you give your future.
We will work together to define what "moving on" looks like for you—whether that involves a restored relationship or a quiet, final goodbye.

Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW, LISCW
For many years forgiveness wasn't talked about very much in psychology or social work programs. That has changed. There is more and more research supporting it's importance in maintaining mental health. Openness to therapy and the process of forgiveness can really be a major step toward more happiness in your life.
