Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach forgiveness as a central aspect of healing, drawing upon psychological insights and Christian teachings. Recognizing forgiveness as a transformative and freeing process, I integrate biblical principles on forgiveness, love, and grace into therapy sessions. Emphasizing the example of Christ's forgiveness, I encourage clients to explore their faith and find strength in extending forgiveness to others and themselves. The therapeutic process may involve prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on the importance of forgiveness in the Christian journey. I guide individuals in understanding the relational and emotional benefits of forgiveness while addressing any barriers that may hinder the process. This integrative approach seeks to help clients navigate the complexities of forgiveness, fostering emotional healing and reconciliation within the framework of their Christian beliefs.

Forgiveness is often confused with trust. Forgiveness involves giving up expectations, acceptance of the situation, and compassion for self and others.

Professional Christian Counselor, Board Certified Pastoral Counselor, Board Certified Life & Purpose Coach,
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I delve into the tender yet powerful realm of forgiveness. Understanding that forgiveness is often a journey of the heart fraught with complex emotions, I offer a compassionate and empathic space for clients. Together, we gently navigate the pain of past hurts, betrayal, and disappointment. My approach aims to guide clients towards releasing the burdens of resentment and anger, unlocking a path to healing and inner peace. It’s a transformative process, fostering self-compassion and the strength to forgive others, and perhaps most importantly, oneself. This journey is about rekindling a sense of freedom and lightness, opening the heart to the possibilities of renewed connections and a future unshackled from the past.
