Infidelity
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.

Infidelity
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Infidelity can shatter your sense of trust and leave you questioning not only your relationship, but your understanding of your partner and your shared history. Whether you're the partner who was betrayed, the partner who was unfaithful, or both partners trying to understand what happened, you may feel caught between wanting answers, protecting yourself, and deciding what comes next. I help individuals and couples navigate the pain and complexity of betrayal while exploring the relationship dynamics surrounding the infidelity without minimizing the harm or reducing either partner to a single role. Therapy can help you examine the internal and external conditions that created the context for betrayal to emerge with honesty and curiosity, and make the necessary changes to rebuild a relationship and restore trust in yourself and others.

Gottman couples therapy can help couples deal with betrayal and build trust.
Infidelity causes severe emotional, psychological, and relational damage, often triggering trauma responses similar to PTSD in the betrayed partner.

Trauma and Mental Health: Intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, hypervigilance, depression, and anxiety are common.
Loss of Self-Worth: Intense self-doubt, shame, and a shattered sense of identity frequently occur.
Physical Toll: Disrupted sleep, weight changes, and stress-related physical ailments can emerge.
Impact on the Unfaithful Partner
Guilt and Shame: Overwhelming remorse, regret, and self-recrimination.
Isolation: Fear of judgment and social alienation from friends or family.
Impact on the Relationship
Erosion of Trust: Complete breakdown of emotional safety and open communication.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Infidelity can deeply disrupt our sense of trust, security, identity, and connection in intimate relationships. Whether you have experienced betrayal or have been involved in an affair, the emotional impact can be complex, bringing feelings of grief, anger, guilt, shame, confusion, and uncertainty about the future. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore these experiences and the underlying relational dynamics. Rather than imposing assumptions about whether a relationship should continue or end, I help clients gain greater clarity about their feelings, values, needs, and choices. Together, we work toward emotional healing, greater self-understanding, and the possibility of rebuilding trust, developing healthier relationships, and moving forward with authenticity and intention.
