Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is the glue that makes relationship possible. Without forgiveness, there is no possibility of relationship, without it there is simply the pullling away, putting up walls, and isolating. If we want to be healthy relationally, we don't have a choice, we have to live in a posture of forgiveness. It frees us from the power of that moment or event over our own life and allows us to move towards relationship with others who also engage the principle of forgiveness in their life.

Brett Ryan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #128956
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. When we have been wronged, there is a desire for justice, and a desire to protect ourselves from future hurts. I walk with people to help them forgive and heal from the wounds that were caused by others

Karen Rippy - Relationship Expert - office and online: Family, couple/marriage, extended family, students).
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT
Forgiveness is a process and it is a good idea for you and your partner to find full closure with a professional therapist rather than "sweep things under the rug" . Let me help you understand and more deeply understand "the elephant in the room."
Work individually and with your loved one to understand and heal relationship wounds.

Elaine Quattro
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Psychotherapy is treatment for the soul which is made up of free will, reasoning mind, feelings and emotions. You are the expert of your own experiences and hurt often leads to unforgiveness. The psychotherapist is an expert on process as well as relationship dynamics, belief systems and defense mechanisms. In each session, the client shares whatever is on their mind and the therapist helps through this exploration to bring insight, provide support, understanding and tools. Together the client and the therapist identify and look at unforgiveness toward oneself and others with a clear plan of action that is in line with your beliefs.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Forgiveness is quite frequently a component of the clinical work that I do. One guiding idea I share with my clients is that often it is more beneficial to forgive for the person forgiving than for the person being forgiven. An important distinction though is not to push people to forgive prematurely in such a way that it invalidates their feelings and concerns. Rather, I view forgiveness as something that can grow out of working through one's hurts. One important concept that my clients tend to find useful is compassion, not just for the other party, but for oneself as well.
