Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
There are ways for couples to get over an affair! Therapy can help a couple explore the 'why' behind the affair, learn how to grieve the feelings of betrayal and loss, and recover from the trauma of the infidelity. Couple Therapy can then help the partners rebuild their marriage and restore lost trust so that the bond is deeper and stronger than ever before!

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Infidelity can shatter trust, emotional safety, and the future you believed you were building. It may bring grief, anger, shame, confusion, intrusive thoughts, and difficult questions about whether the relationship can—or should—continue.
I provide a balanced, nonjudgmental space to understand what happened, process the emotional impact, and clarify your needs and choices. Whether the goal is reconciliation, separation, or simply regaining stability, therapy can support honest communication, healthy boundaries, accountability, and informed decisions. Healing is possible, whether that means rebuilding the relationship or rebuilding yourself.
