Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals dealing with infidelity in their relationship or marriage, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for them to process their emotions and navigate the complexities of their situation. Through therapy, we explore the underlying factors contributing to the infidelity, such as communication issues, unmet needs, or underlying relationship problems. I offer strategies to cope with intense emotions such as anger, betrayal, or grief, and facilitate open and honest communication between partners. Additionally, we work on rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, and exploring the possibility of forgiveness and reconciliation if desired. My goal is to support individuals in making informed decisions about their relationship and ultimately finding healing and resolution, whether that involves rebuilding the relationship or moving forward separately.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Infidelity breaks the story a couple has been telling about themselves. That is what makes it devastating — not just the betrayal, but the revelation that the relationship you thought you were in was not the one that was actually happening. For the person who was betrayed, the ground disappears. For the person who strayed, there is usually something they went looking for that they could not name inside the marriage, and sometimes could not name at all. Therapy after infidelity is not about deciding whether to stay or leave. It is about telling the truth — finally, fully — about what the relationship was, what it wasn't, and whether both people are willing to build something honest on what remains.

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.
