Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Affair recovery is a delicate and important part of what we do. The discovery of infidelity shatters trust and leaves both partners reeling; confused, hurt, and unsure of what comes next. We provide compassionate, judgment-free support for couples who want to understand what happened, process the pain honestly, and decide together what the future of their relationship looks like.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Infidelity can cause immense pain to the person betrayed. It also can cause immense pain to the person who betrayed. Many times healing can create the strongest of relationships. Healing can also lead to separation with a growth in self understanding. Therapy can help determine your choice of path through support, grief work and insight.

Hayden Dover MFT - Couples Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Dealing with infidelity is one of the most painful and confusing issues many couple have to deal with. I work with couples dealing with infidelity to do the challenging work of healing, addressing underlying issues and rebuilding trust. Often infidelity brings an end to the relationship but it can also bring to light underlying issues in the relationship that, when addressed, allow for a deeper more enduring connection.

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.

Douglairian psychology apc
Marriage and Family Therapist, Lmft
I specialize in working with relationships affected by infidelity. My practice offers support for couples together, as well as individual sessions for either the unfaithful or the betrayed partner, as each path requires specific focus and healing.
For the betrayed partner, we prioritize self-care and the establishment of healthy boundaries. For the unfaithful partner, we focus on accountability and understanding the underlying factors that led to the infidelity. For couples, the primary goal is the process of rebuilding trust.

Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Infidelity can be one of the most cruel and painful experiences. I work with both betrayed partners and those who did the betraying to better understand how the cheating happened and then how to heal from it. We don't "move on" from infidelity but we can "move through" it and create stronger relationships.
