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.

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.

Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
Forgiveness is often less about others and more about finding peace within yourself. I help clients explore the emotions, patterns, and parts of themselves that hold onto pain, resentment, or anger. Together, we work toward release, self-compassion, and a sense of freedom that supports healing and growth.

Forgiveness
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.
