Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When trust has been broken, many wonder if their relationship can ever feel normal again. Whether you're navigating betrayal, past hurts, or years of disconnection, repair is possible, but it takes more than just saying “sorry.” I help couples rebuild the trust, so you can forgive, change the patterns that led to relationship injury, and feel relaxed with one another.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are carrying pain, anger, guilt, or unfinished emotional business from relationships that have been complicated or hurtful, including their relationship with themselves. Forgiveness is often misunderstood as excusing harm, minimizing what happened, or reconciling with someone who hurt you. In reality, many people come to therapy because they want relief from the internal weight of what happened and from the way they speak to themselves about it, not because they want to repair the relationship or “move on” before they are ready. You may feel torn between what you think you are supposed to feel and what you actually feel, or caught between loyalty, resentment, grief, and self‑protection. You might also feel stuck in self‑blame, replaying past choices and wishing you had done things differently.
People often seek this kind of work after emotional abuse, betrayal, estrangement, family conflict, or long histories of being the one who absorbs more than their share. These experiences can leave you questioning your reactions, doubting your worth, or feeling responsible for keeping the peace even when it costs you. Over time, the pressure to forgive, from others or from yourself, can create even more confusion, shame, and exhaustion.
In our work together, forgiveness is not a requirement or a destination. I am open to whatever feels most honest and supportive for you, whether that eventually includes forgiveness or not. The focus is on self‑forgiveness and inner relief. We explore what happened with clarity and compassion, how it has shaped your sense of self, and what you have been carrying alone. We make space for the parts of you that still feel hurt, protective, angry, or loyal, and the parts that long for softness and rest. The intention is to help you find a steadier, kinder way of relating to your own story, one that feels honest, grounded, and not dictated by pressure from others. If forgiveness, toward yourself or someone else, becomes part of that process, it can emerge naturally from understanding and self‑respect, not obligation.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.
