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.

Jeannette Craigfeld
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
I have worked with many clients who have been harmed or betrayed by a loved one, some very recently and others a very long time ago. I don't believe that forgiveness is always mandatory for healing, but I have seen it feel very freeing for many people in order to move forward from the trauma, betrayal, or loss they have experienced. It's a process that cannot be rushed, and everyone's timeline is different. My aim is to help these clients take all of the time and space they need to process the complicated feelings they may feel towards the person who has harmed them.

By finding out the things or people you need to forgive, we can also understand why you couldn't forgive, and work on conversation with the hurter, healing your inner child, and clearing energetic imbalance and blockages for emotional healing.

Forgiveness
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is not a destination, but a place to visit and spend time. When people are betrayed either by a friend, family member, romantic partner, or co-worker, the hurt is profound. Sometimes, as with someone who has passed, there is no opportunity to gain closure. Forgiveness work is about exploring your feelings, but also learning skills you can use to work through the pain and get to a place of acceptance.

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.
