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.

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.

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Infidelity can bring up intense feelings of betrayal, anger, grief, confusion, and uncertainty about what comes next. Whether you're trying to repair a relationship, understand what happened, or decide whether to stay or leave, therapy can provide a safe place to explore what you're feeling and what you truly want.

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.

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
