Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is not something you owe anyone, it’s not about pretending what happened was okay, can’t be rushed or forced. Forgiveness begins with making room for everything you feel and having your experience truly witnessed before any letting go.

For clients looking for therapy to help them forgive someone they are close to or who hope that someone will forgive them, I provide humanistic, positive, client-centered therapy. This approach allows you to explore feelings without judgment, contemplate the next steps in a safe space, and learn how to overcome painful feelings. Even if you are not in contact with the person you want to forgive or receive forgiveness from, we can use our sessions to help you find resolution and comfort.

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.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Forgiveness in relationships is deeply personal, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of what it should look like. In Gottman Method couples therapy, partners are supported in exploring the meaning of forgiveness within the context of their own experiences, values, boundaries, and relationship goals. Therapy provides space to process hurt, rebuild emotional safety, and strengthen trust without pressure to move faster than feels authentic or "sweep things under the rug." Whether couples are working through betrayal, repeated conflict, or emotional wounds, the focus is on fostering understanding, taking responsibility, making amends, healing, and intentional reconnection in a way that is meaningful and lasting.
