Infidelity Counseling: Rebuild trust and connection after a betrayal
Discovering or disclosing an affair can be one of the most painful and destabilizing experiences a couple can go through. Whether you’re the partner who feels betrayed or the one who stepped outside the relationship, emotions often run deep—ranging from anger, grief, and guilt to confusion, shame, or hopelessness.
My infidelity couples counseling offers a safe, compassionate space to begin making sense of what happened, process painful emotions, and determine how—or if—you want to move forward together.
Why Affairs Happen
Infidelity doesn’t always happen because something is “wrong” with one partner. Sometimes it grows from emotional disconnection, resentment, loneliness, or unresolved issues in the relationship. In other cases, it may be more about an individual’s internal struggles—like unmet emotional needs, past trauma, or avoidance of conflict.
Talking openly about what led to the betrayal can be hard, but it’s often necessary to begin healing.
Understanding the steps that lead to the betrayal is an important step in my couples therapy sessions.
The Impact of Infidelity
When an affair comes to light, it often feels like the foundation of the relationship has cracked. Trust may be shattered, emotions can swing from anger to grief to confusion, and communication often becomes difficult or breaks down entirely.
You might question your self-worth, feel rejected or betrayed, or wonder if the relationship can ever recover. The partner who had the affair may carry guilt, shame, or fear that they’ll never be forgiven. Both people are often left feeling lost, hurt, and unsure of what to do next.
These feelings are valid—and incredibly common. My couples counseling sessions specializing in infidelity provide a safe space to process the pain, understand what happened, and begin rebuilding trust or finding clarity about what comes next.
How my infidelity counseling services work
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing from infidelity. As your therapist, I’ll meet you exactly where you are and I will do a thorough evaluation before I provide a treatment plan.
Recovering from an affair is possible. It does take time and commitment. Often couples recover and find a renewed intimacy.
I can offer both individual and couples therapy sessions, read more about each option below:
