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.

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.

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.

Salinas is the county seat of Monterey County and the birthplace of John Steinbeck, a city with a majority Latino population deeply rooted in the agricultural economy of the Salinas Valley, and a mental health landscape shaped by the significant challenges of agricultural labor, immigration stress, gang violence in some neighborhoods, and limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care. Spanish-language therapy is essential here, and the demand for bilingual practitioners who understand the specific stressors of farmworker and immigrant community life significantly outpaces supply. Natividad Medical Center, a county-run hospital, provides some behavioral health services, and community health organizations supplement what is a relatively limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include trauma, family separation stress, anxiety, depression, and the intergenerational challenges faced by a community navigating the intersection of a demanding agricultural economy and evolving cultural identity.
