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
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.
