Infidelity can leave you feeling betrayed, confused, and questioning both the relationship and yourself.

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.

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.

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.

San Mateo is a Bay Area city on the Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, part of one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world, and home to a large proportion of technology industry workers whose work-related stressors—alongside the intense financial pressure of Peninsula housing costs—shape much of the local mental health demand. The city has a significant East and Southeast Asian population, including large Filipino and Chinese-American communities, for whom culturally competent therapy that addresses specific cultural dynamics around family, stigma, and identity is an important consideration. A well-developed private therapy sector serves the affluent professional community, and telehealth has extended the effective therapy market across the Bay Area. Common therapy concerns include tech industry burnout, housing cost anxiety and financial stress, Asian-American identity and family dynamics, relationship difficulties, and the paradox of acute psychological distress in an objectively privileged material environment.
