Scott D. Thomas
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Research from Johns Hopkins has found that forgiveness does more than ease emotional burdens — it can have a real impact on your physical health. Studies show that the act of forgiving can lower your risk of heart attack, improve cholesterol and sleep, and reduce pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. In other words, letting go isn't just good for your peace of mind — it's good for all of you!!

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is not a simple decision, and it does not mean excusing what happened. We can take a thoughtful approach that respects your values and your boundaries. Sometimes the goal is forgiveness, and sometimes it is clarity and release. Either way, the work is about loosening the hold of the past so you can move forward with more peace and self-respect.

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.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients work through resentment, anger, guilt, betrayal, and the emotional weight of unresolved hurt. Forgiveness does not mean excusing harmful behavior or forcing yourself to move on before you are ready. In therapy, we focus on understanding what happened, processing the emotional impact, clarifying boundaries, and deciding what healing looks like for you. My goal is to help clients move forward with greater clarity, self-respect, and emotional freedom.

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.
