Infidelity
Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Infidelity can rupture trust at the deepest level, activating intense emotions such as anger, shame, grief, and fear. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based models, I help couples understand the underlying relational patterns that contributed to the breach while prioritizing emotional safety and accountability.
Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), we explore protective parts—such as defensiveness, withdrawal, or self-criticism—that may surface after betrayal. Therapy focuses on structured repair conversations, rebuilding trust through consistency and transparency, and determining whether reconciliation or conscious uncoupling is the healthiest path forward.

Infidelity
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Infidelity is one of the most complicated things I've ever dealt with as a therapist. It taps into so many areas that we feel deeply about: trust, faith, betrayal, self-esteem, self-doubt, true love, soul-mates, reconciliation, forgiveness, PTSD, and even our future. The most common question that I hear people ask is, "Why did it happen?" Unfortunately, the answer is often very complicated and hearing the answer is often less than soothing. We want to know why, because, we believe, if we understand it, we can prevent the pain of it happening again in the future. That is difficult to do, so we have to look at our understanding of how control plays a part in our psyche.

Infidelity
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Infidelity creates deep pain, triggers trauma, breaks trust, and destabilizes a relationship and family. There can be heartbreak, guilt, mistrust and loss for all parties involved. Affair recovery involves re-committing to each other by first rebuilding trust, safety, accountability, and establishing good communication skills. A caring connection can be reestablished once the affair is behind you and each of you feel prioritized and listened to. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from trauma and old patterns, and help you to reclaim a happy, secure relationship.

Infidelity
Dr. Shawn V Giammattei

Infidelity has been an area we have been working with as long as we have worked with couples. We have been able to help partners navigate the betrayal and repair required to recover. This is true for polyamorous partners as well when there is a break of trust.

Oakland has a politically engaged, social-justice-oriented community where many therapists approach their work through an anti-oppression lens, specializing in racial trauma, activist burnout, and healing within BIPOC communities. The city's proximity to San Francisco means therapists here frequently work with the compounding stresses of the Bay Area housing crisis, economic displacement, and the grief of gentrification. Oakland has strong LGBTQ+ and creative communities, with demand for affirming therapists who work at the intersection of identity, community belonging, and personal wellbeing. Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provide institutional anchors alongside a network of independent practitioners.
