Madison Zimbal
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-IT
Forgiveness can be one of the most meaningful and also most difficult parts of healing. Many people come to therapy carrying hurt from relationships, family dynamics, betrayal, or past experiences that still feel heavy in the present. I provide a supportive space for children (7+), teens, and women who are struggling with resentment, emotional wounds, or feeling stuck in what has happened to them. In our work together, forgiveness is never rushed or forced. Instead, we gently explore what the pain represents, how it has impacted your thoughts and emotions, and what it might look like to begin loosening the hold it has on your present life. Forgiveness is not about excusing harm or minimizing what happened, it is about creating space for healing, emotional freedom, and peace. For many clients, forgiveness also involves processing grief, setting boundaries, and rebuilding a sense of self after being hurt. I use a compassionate, skills-based approach to help clients regulate emotions, work through painful memories, and move at a pace that feels safe and respectful. For clients who desire it, faith can also be integrated into this process. Christian counseling can offer a framework of grace, healing, and spiritual support, allowing forgiveness to be explored through both emotional and spiritual understanding. My goal is to help clients move toward relief, not by forgetting the past, but by no longer being defined or controlled by it. Healing is possible, and forgiveness can become a pathway toward greater peace, clarity, and emotional freedom.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
At the heart of all healing is forgiveness, and it is a cornerstone of my therapy. Almost all issues clients come to me for involve some form of need for forgivness. Together, we get there, through hypnosis, childhood regression, breathwork, parts work (IFS, Gestalt), EMT, past life regression, and more frameworks, as needed. The childhood regression has a beautiful forgiveness and compassion formula built-in, and clients often report how much lighter they feel after being safely guided through this ceremonious framework. When we forgive, we let go of huge energetic blocks that seriously impede our bandwidth. By lifting these giant boulders off our backs, we literally free up so much life force energy we can use again to move forward in life. Stop self-sabotage. Remember, you can forgive but you do not have to excuse the behavior. Come out stronger and wiser when you decide you have suffered enough and you are ready to liberate yourself.

Melissa Drinkman, Pathways To Connection
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
Pathways To Connection therapists help you work through forgiveness by using a therapeutic approach that helps individuals release resentment, anger, and pain associated with past wrongdoings. It encourages self-reflection and emotional healing by guiding you through the process of understanding your feelings, challenging negative thought patterns, and finding compassion—both for yourself and others. The goal is not to forget or condone the hurtful actions, but to let go of the emotional weight that keeps you trapped in the past.

Victoria Hagan
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Forgiveness is powerful and not always easy. Sometimes we need to forgive ourselves. Sometimes we need to forgive others in order to move forward ourselves. Do you want to explore how forgiveness can positively impact your life. Together we will work toward moving to understanding.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
When someone has hurt you deeply, you may find yourself caught between wanting to move forward and feeling that doing so would mean minimizing what happened or letting the other person off the hook. You may replay the injury, long for acknowledgment or accountability, or feel pressured to forgive before you've fully processed your anger and grief. I help clients explore what forgiveness means to them, what remains unresolved, and what they need in order to feel less defined or constrained by the injury. Forgiveness does not have to mean reconciliation, excusing harm, or abandoning your boundaries; our work is about finding a path toward resolution that honors your experience and feels authentic to you.
