Relationship Therapy Center - a Gottman Method Counseling Center for Couples
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified Gottman Therapist
Infidelity counseling is couples therapy after cheating - whether that is emotional affair, porn addiction or a physical affair. Healing a marriage after an affair involves couples therapy where they betrayal is processed, trust is rebuilt and a new marriage can be formed. Even though painful, many couples do recover and build a strong relationship moving forward.

It could have been months or years since you discovered your partner's affair. You just can't seem to get rid of the lingering emotions. You still feel anxiety, confusion, fear, and stress, no matter how hard you try. Even seemingly insignificant situations appear to trigger you on a regular basis. You might be thinking that you'll be feeling this way for the rest of your life. Recognize that there is hope and that you can recover. When you know what's causing your reaction, it's far easier to deliberately choose to "respond" rather than "react," reclaiming control. This is critical for regaining emotional stability and self-awareness.

When one partner cheats, the other can be left in a world of confusion, terror, trauma, and anxiety. There are few things more difficult to overcome than infidelity. Sometimes it is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Other times it is the very thing that starts a process of healing and reunification. I work with couples every day who are trying to find their way back from betrayal. It is possible! It takes hard work though and dedication to the relationship. The person who cheated needs to do some very deep exploration of themselves to figure out why they strayed. They need to be to explain their behavior in a way that makes sense to their partner such that they can begin to forgive and trust again. This can take a long time. Couples therapy can really help to make this go much smoother and more quickly. Sometimes, out of the worst crisis, a new relationship emerges, one that is happier, more stable, more open, and more loving.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 26 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
I use my 26 years specialist experience in the treatment of the distorted thinking that creates infidelity, to help my clients correct that distorted thinking , and stop once and for all the self deception that creates that self destructive cheating behavior.
I have helped many men learn how the part of them that told them to engage in cheating was actually very irrational, not looking out for them, and that part was was ignoring the otherwise obvious fact that their life in objective terms was actually excellent, and that they had far more to lose than they told themselves at that time of that infidelity.
There is often some non-sexual thinking or strategies that also have to be corrected to decrease chances of a relapse, many times the man in question have taken strategies or styles of seeing things from some other time or part of his life , typically childhood, and that worked well for other parts of their life, and applied them later to his family or marriage, wrongly, and created problems that don't need to exist, and this can create a subjective negative view of the situation , that does not reflect the reality, that they then try to "escape" from with that infidelity.
I have great success with these men, and they learn how to be faithful, plus how to value their family/marriage, and how to be truly happy in what should be a happy situation.

Working through infidelity is not impossible. Through hard work on both ends and full communication and working on the reasons why there was infidelity to start with, it can be worked on if that is what the couple so chooses to do. Or maybe you are an individual who has been through this topic and want to have some guidance on where to go next. That is also possible in sessions with me.
