Infidelity
Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Discovering infidelity can be devastating. You may feel shocked, betrayed, angry, heartbroken, or consumed by questions that seem to have no clear answers. Many people find themselves replaying conversations, searching for explanations, struggling to trust their partner, or questioning their own judgment and self-worth.
Whether you are healing individually or as a couple, betrayal can deeply impact trust, emotional safety, attachment, and connection. I provide a supportive space to process the pain of what has happened, navigate difficult emotions, improve communication, and better understand the patterns contributing to relationship distress. For couples who wish to rebuild, therapy can help repair trust, strengthen emotional connection, and create a more secure foundation moving forward.

Infidelity
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples dealing with the impact of infidelity, including situations where cheating is connected to sexual compulsivity or out of control sexual behavior. These experiences often bring intense emotions such as shock, anger, shame, grief, and confusion, and can leave both partners feeling unsure about what comes next.
In therapy, we focus on understanding what led to the infidelity and how compulsive sexual behavior may have played a role. This includes addressing patterns of secrecy, impulsivity, and emotional avoidance, while also helping the partner who was hurt process betrayal and regain a sense of stability and safety. I work with couples to slow the process down, create clearer boundaries, and begin rebuilding trust when repair is possible.
For some couples, therapy becomes a space to decide whether and how to continue the relationship. For others, it is about healing individually and establishing healthier patterns moving forward. My goal is to support honest accountability, emotional repair, and decision making that aligns with each person’s values and long term wellbeing.

Infidelity can be a extremely difficult often devastating experience in a marriage and for the family. Counseling can often clarify some of the underlying conflict, distrust, and rage that results in both partners.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Many years ago, I took a workshop with Esther Perel called the State of Affairs: A Clinical Approach to Infidelity Workshop. This helped inspire my work with infidelity, creating a shame and judgement free environment to explore infidelity and affairs with both couples and individuals.

Infidelity can leave a relationship feeling as though it is hanging on by a thread. We can't change what has happened in your relationship but we can explore and understand what happened. We can have open conversations that help you to move forward toward a healthier version of your relationship.
