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!!

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.

Mosaic Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Carrying the weight of resentment, anger, or past hurt can prevent you from fully healing and moving forward. Our forgiveness therapy is designed to help you release the emotional burden of past grievances, whether towards others or yourself. Using a combination of therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and compassionate self-reflection, we guide you through the process of understanding, processing, and ultimately forgiving—freeing you from the pain of holding on to negative emotions. Forgiveness is a powerful tool for emotional and relational healing, and we’re here to help you find peace, closure, and a renewed sense of emotional freedom.

Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
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. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
To forgive is to let go. Letting go of the hurt, the insult, and the pain. Holding on to each only creates resentment and more pain that eats us up in the end. I can help you move through and past it and let it go.
