Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Being unable to forgive can take away a person's freedom to feel the way they want to. By working with Soulful Therapy, a compassionate approach, my client's come to understand what has happened to them in their past that keeps them from being able to move forward from their deep wounds.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Forgiveness is a process where someone who has been wronged chooses to let go of their resentment, and treat the wrongdoer with compassion. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or condoning the wrongdoing, granting legal mercy, or reconciling a relationship. You can forgive a person while in no way believing that their actions were acceptable or justified.
Clients who continue to hang on to painful emotions related to a mistreatment—even though they have every right to hold those emotions—can receive great benefit from forgiveness therapy. A number of positive outcomes, such as reductions in depression, resentment, and rumination, have been associated with 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.

Bree Bonanno
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.

Florence MacGregor
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), MFA, MPS, Embodiment Coach
Forgiveness is challenging when you are innocent and the perpetrator is not willing to be accountable for their actions. It is not something that happens over night and it is not always to even accept for yourselfm even if you are innocent. Patience, courage and allowing all of your emotions to be accepted with respect, serves to heal personal boundaries and respect. You are worthy of care, love and support.

When forgiveness is elusive it’s often because we’re in pain or angry. At Transforming Emotions, we will help you better understand what stands between you and forgiveness including the boundaries that need to be re-established, the healing that needs to occur, the blocks from the past that need to be removed, and even whether forgiveness is a necessary step in moving forward.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Sometimes bad things happen to nice people. We can find ourselves stuck as a result of these situations and it can be difficult to move forward or even see anything else. Our perspective can become distorted by the perceived "boulder in the middle of the road". Holding these negative emotions on a regular basis inside our bodies can even make us physical ill. If you are finding yourself dealing with this challenge, consider that hypnosis is an excellent tool you can use to reach the crux of the problem and allow you to move forward.

Clare Karasik
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
Whether you are looking to forgive others or forgive yourself, I provide support to radically accept what occurred and find ways to move forward in life. We may explore ideas of compassion, needs, and accountability while recognizing that all humans are imperfect. In terms of self-forgiveness, I recognize that doing a "bad" thing does not make us a "bad" person. I support individuals to determine what is theirs to own and take accountability for as well as when they may be taking accountability for things that is not their responsibility.
