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
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Infidelity can bring pain, anger, shame, grief, sexual questions, confusion, and a profound disruption of trust. I work with individuals and couples to understand what happened, what has been avoided or left unspoken, and what the relationship needs now. In my work, infidelity is not only treated as a crisis. It can also reveal places where the relationship needs deeper attention, creating the possibility for greater honesty, accountability, intimacy, trust repair, and relationship growth.

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.

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.
