Forgiveness can be hard, especially when you have felt hurt, betrayed or let down. Whether you are looking to forgive others or forgive yourself, we provide support to radically accept what occurred and find ways to move forward in life. Through an exploration of compassion, naming one's needs, and addressing accountability, while recognizing that all humans are imperfect, we can work through forgiveness-an act that can liberate yourself from feelings of bitterness, anger and resentment.

Cultivating self-compassion can often assist us in extending compassion and forgiveness to others. Looking at life through a spiritual lens can also help us to ask the deeper questions about why something painful happened and what we are meant to be learning.
Through relational, spiritual and mindfulness based interventions, I support my clients in moving through the process of forgiveness.

Headway Mental Health
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
As a compassionate therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex and transformative journey of forgiveness. Drawing from my own personal experiences and professional training, I understand the profound impact that holding onto resentment, anger, and hurt can have on one's emotional well-being and relationships. I believe that forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing and growth, allowing individuals to break free from the chains of pain and find inner peace. In our sessions, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore the deep-rooted emotions and beliefs that may be preventing you from embracing forgiveness. Together, we will work towards understanding the underlying reasons behind your pain and examine how forgiveness can bring about profound healing and liberation. Utilizing various evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, I will guide you in developing strategies to let go of resentment and cultivate compassion for yourself and others. Through this transformative process, you will gain a deeper understanding of forgiveness as a personal choice and empower yourself to heal, rebuild trust, and foster healthier relationships. My mission is to support you on your journey towards forgiveness, helping you find the strength, resilience, and inner peace necessary to create a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I acknowledge that forgiveness is a process, and although it can be extremely empowering and healing, it is highly individual and dependent on each client’s unique circumstances. Therefore, when it comes to forgiveness, it is imperative that this process is honoured, and a client is given the opportunity to go through the various stages of forgiveness, which can be anywhere from powerful anger to a deep sense of remorse. Along the way, I aim to validate the client’s emotions while opening up new possibilities for a better and brighter future. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Forgiveness shouldn't be forced. Only you can know if and when you're ready to forgive. Remember that the act of forgiveness is not about the other person but, instead, for yourself. To forgive others doesn't equate to reconciliation, nor does it mean to condone. It's meant to release your resentment and permit you to reclaim your life.

Courtney Mann
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP
Forgiveness may seem like an impossible place to get to when someone has caused us harm. When ready, we need to find a way to process the anger, resentment, and pain we feel so that we can move on from our pain. Therapy is an effective tool for helping you to move past the pain and anger and toward peace.

The power of forgiveness is often very surprising and many have difficulty with this. It is often conflated with forgetting and being used as a doormat or letting someone off scot free. The hardest one to forgive is often oneself.
