Infidelity
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Infidelity can be one of the most painful and destabilizing experiences a couple can face. The discovery of an affair often brings intense emotions—shock, anger, sadness, guilt, confusion—and leaves both partners questioning what is real, what went wrong, and whether repair is possible.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the emotional aftermath of infidelity with honesty, compassion, and structure. Therapy provides a safe space to slow down the chaos, understand the deeper dynamics that contributed to the rupture, and begin to rebuild a sense of safety and clarity.
For couples seeking reconciliation, our work may include establishing emotional transparency, rebuilding trust through consistent and verifiable actions, and learning new ways to communicate about pain and vulnerability without escalating conflict. For those uncertain about the future of their relationship, therapy can help clarify each partner’s needs and boundaries, and support respectful decision-making about next steps.
For individuals recovering from infidelity—whether betrayed or betraying—therapy focuses on understanding emotional patterns, rebuilding self-worth, and making sense of the experience in a way that fosters growth rather than lasting shame or resentment.
My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based strategies to address both the emotional and practical aspects of recovery. Together, we work toward healing, accountability, and—when possible—renewed trust and intimacy built on a stronger foundation than before.

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."

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
Rachel J Fischer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
It can be hard to manage feelings that come up around wanting to or having had experiences of infidelity. Using an insight-oriented ("psychodynamic") and relational approach to therapy, I provide a warm and nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts/feelings/experiences, and to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships so that you can embrace a more fulfilling life.
