Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Infidelity can be one of the most painful and destabilizing experiences a couple can face. The discovery of an affair often brings intense emotions—shock, anger, sadness, guilt, confusion—and leaves both partners questioning what is real, what went wrong, and whether repair is possible.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the emotional aftermath of infidelity with honesty, compassion, and structure. Therapy provides a safe space to slow down the chaos, understand the deeper dynamics that contributed to the rupture, and begin to rebuild a sense of safety and clarity.
For couples seeking reconciliation, our work may include establishing emotional transparency, rebuilding trust through consistent and verifiable actions, and learning new ways to communicate about pain and vulnerability without escalating conflict. For those uncertain about the future of their relationship, therapy can help clarify each partner’s needs and boundaries, and support respectful decision-making about next steps.
For individuals recovering from infidelity—whether betrayed or betraying—therapy focuses on understanding emotional patterns, rebuilding self-worth, and making sense of the experience in a way that fosters growth rather than lasting shame or resentment.
My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based strategies to address both the emotional and practical aspects of recovery. Together, we work toward healing, accountability, and—when possible—renewed trust and intimacy built on a stronger foundation than before.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Infidelity breaks the story a couple has been telling about themselves. That is what makes it devastating — not just the betrayal, but the revelation that the relationship you thought you were in was not the one that was actually happening. For the person who was betrayed, the ground disappears. For the person who strayed, there is usually something they went looking for that they could not name inside the marriage, and sometimes could not name at all. Therapy after infidelity is not about deciding whether to stay or leave. It is about telling the truth — finally, fully — about what the relationship was, what it wasn't, and whether both people are willing to build something honest on what remains.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Through the twenty year private practice career as a counselor, I have had a special interest in helping couples that were on the brink of divorce or separation. Many of them found themselves here due to infidelity. It is a special thing to help people to first understand infidelity; why it happens and what to do about it. Primarily, partners often feel that infidelity is their fault: that they did not do something well enough or that they are not attractive, pretty or handsome enough. That is the furthest thing from the truth. Infidelity most often happens due to sexual addiction, or due to the lack of feeling happy with one's self. When another shines their warm light of attention on you, and pays you lots of compliments, it can be very addictive to achieve that dopamine rush. There is also the element of the Coolidge effect. There is a biological thing that happens in animals. Males, (and to some extent females of the species) experience renewed sexual interest whenever a new partner is introduced.
This phenomenon comes about from an anecdote about Calvin Coolidge when he was President. The President and Mrs. Coolidge were being shown around an experimental government farm walking with two separate groups of reporters. When the first lady, whom was known to have a lot of moxie, came to the chicken yard she noticed that a rooster was mating very frequently. She asked the attendant how often that happened and was told, "Dozens of times each day." Mrs. Coolidge said, "Tell that to the President when he comes by." Upon being told this, President Coolidge asked, "Same hen every time?" The reply was, "Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time." President: "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals dealing with infidelity in their relationship or marriage, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for them to process their emotions and navigate the complexities of their situation. Through therapy, we explore the underlying factors contributing to the infidelity, such as communication issues, unmet needs, or underlying relationship problems. I offer strategies to cope with intense emotions such as anger, betrayal, or grief, and facilitate open and honest communication between partners. Additionally, we work on rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, and exploring the possibility of forgiveness and reconciliation if desired. My goal is to support individuals in making informed decisions about their relationship and ultimately finding healing and resolution, whether that involves rebuilding the relationship or moving forward separately.
