Forgiveness
Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Forgiveness counseling is a transformative process that facilitates the release of resentment, anger, and hurt that often maintains a hold on one's emotional well-being. Our services in this area focus on assisting clients as they navigate the complex path toward forgiving others and, equally importantly, themselves. This journey can pave the way for healing, inner peace, and the restoration of fractured relationships.
Fostering Compassion and Peace Through Forgiveness
* Understanding Forgiveness: We begin by exploring the true meaning of forgiveness, debunking myths, and setting realistic expectations about what forgiveness does and does not entail.
* Addressing Emotional Pain: Our counselors create a safe and empathetic space for clients to express and work through the emotional pain that has inhibited their ability to forgive, fostering a deeper understanding of their own feelings and experiences.
* Personal Empowerment: Forgiveness is framed as a choice and an act of personal empowerment, rather than a sign of weakness or an obligation to others.
* Letting Go of Harmful Attachments: Therapy focuses on helping individuals let go of negative attachments to past events and the people who have caused them harm, enabling them to reclaim their mental and emotional freedom.
* Reconciliation versus Release: We help clients discern between reconciliation—a restored relationship with the one who wronged them—and release, which is to free oneself from the burden of unresolved hurt.
Goals of Forgiveness Counseling
Our forgiveness counseling aims to assist clients in:
* Processing and Accepting Hurtful Events: Acknowledge and accept the reality of what happened in order to move forward.
* Liberating from the Past: Break free from the anchor of past hurts that impede current happiness and emotional wellness.
* Enhancing Personal Growth: Use the process of forgiveness as a catalyst for personal growth and self-improvement.
* Healing Emotional Wounds: Begin to heal the emotional wounds inflicted by others or oneself.
* Restoring Inner Peace: Achieving a sense of inner peace, regardless of whether the relationship with the offender is reconciled.
The act of forgiveness can be a profoundly liberating experience that goes far beyond mending relationships with others—it's an act of healing for oneself. Our skilled therapists are dedicated to guiding you through the emotional complexities of forgiveness, empowering you to let go of the past and embrace a more peaceful, fulfilling future. Connect with us to explore how forgiveness counseling can be a vital step in your personal journey of healing and growth.

Forgiveness
Launi Treece
Psychologist, PhD
I think of forgiveness as a process from 0 percent to 100 percent and it takes time to go up the scale to 100 percent. We can talk through whatever you need to let it go (or ask someone elses's forgiveness too!). I view this from a Christian perspective. We forgive others because God first forgave us.

Forgiveness
Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
It is so easy to hold on to anger, resentment, self-criticism, rage, guilt, shame, and negative views of ourselves and others, yet all the research suggests that letting go and engaging in forgiveness is the healthiest solution for the one who forgives. It is hard to learn to forgive the self and others, but I believe we are all capable of working through that which keeps us stuck in the painful feelings and moving to a place of forgiveness.

Forgiveness
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help high achievers and perfectionists navigate the challenging process of forgiveness by addressing the underlying perfectionistic tendencies that can complicate this journey. Together, we explore how holding onto grudges or expecting perfection from others can contribute to feelings of anger and resentment. I provide strategies to process these emotions and develop a more compassionate perspective towards both oneself and others. By fostering a balanced view of forgiveness, I help clients release the burden of past grievances and move forward with greater emotional freedom. My goal is to support them in achieving healing and improved relationships while maintaining their sense of integrity and self-worth.
