Infidelity
Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
Infidelity and broken trust can leave both partners feeling devastated, confused, angry, and emotionally disconnected. I work with individuals and couples dealing with the aftermath of secrecy, pornography use, affairs, compulsive sexual behavior, and betrayal trauma. My approach focuses on helping people move beyond defensiveness, shame, and blame toward greater honesty, emotional understanding, accountability, and rebuilding trust in a realistic and grounded way.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Discovering or disclosing infidelity can be one of the most painful experiences in a relationship. The feelings of betrayal, confusion, and loss can leave both partners unsure of how to move forward. In therapy, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space to help you process the hurt, rebuild trust, and decide what healing looks like for you—whether that means repairing the relationship or finding peace on your own path.

Infidelity
Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Through the twenty year private practice career as a counselor, I have had a special interest in helping couples that were on the brink of divorce or separation. Many of them found themselves here due to infidelity. It is a special thing to help people to first understand infidelity; why it happens and what to do about it. Primarily, partners often feel that infidelity is their fault: that they did not do something well enough or that they are not attractive, pretty or handsome enough. That is the furthest thing from the truth. Infidelity most often happens due to sexual addiction, or due to the lack of feeling happy with one's self. When another shines their warm light of attention on you, and pays you lots of compliments, it can be very addictive to achieve that dopamine rush. There is also the element of the Coolidge effect. There is a biological thing that happens in animals. Males, (and to some extent females of the species) experience renewed sexual interest whenever a new partner is introduced.
This phenomenon comes about from an anecdote about Calvin Coolidge when he was President. The President and Mrs. Coolidge were being shown around an experimental government farm walking with two separate groups of reporters. When the first lady, whom was known to have a lot of moxie, came to the chicken yard she noticed that a rooster was mating very frequently. She asked the attendant how often that happened and was told, "Dozens of times each day." Mrs. Coolidge said, "Tell that to the President when he comes by." Upon being told this, President Coolidge asked, "Same hen every time?" The reply was, "Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time." President: "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in infidelity.
The aftermath of infidelity is rarely simple, whichever side of it you are on. If you were betrayed, you may be replaying details you wish you did not know, unable to decide whether to stay or go, or shaken by how much you no longer trust your own read on things. If you were the one who strayed, you may be trying to understand what you did and why, alongside shame that makes it hard to think clearly at all.
I work psychoanalytically, which means the question is not only what happened but what it meant. An affair usually has an unconscious logic worth understanding: something it expressed, protected against, or made possible. In sessions we take that up honestly, without a predetermined verdict about what you should do next.
If infidelity has upended your sense of your relationship or yourself, I would be glad to talk.

Rachael Keyser, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Infidelity can deeply damage trust, but healing is possible with the right support. I work with couples to understand the roots of infidelity, rebuild trust, and repair emotional bonds. Together, we explore open communication, forgiveness, and strategies to move forward, whether that means rebuilding the relationship or parting ways.
