Infidelity
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.
Impact on 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.
High Risk of Separation: Infidelity is a leading cause of divorce, though recovery is possible with dedicated professional couples therapy.

Infidelity
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.

Sarah Green
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Infidelity can shake your sense of safety, trust, and self-worth, whether you were betrayed, were the one who stepped outside the relationship, or are somewhere in between. Betrayal can be traumatic, and I approach it with care for how it affects your body and nervous system as well as your thoughts. Together we'll look at boundaries, codependent patterns, and what you need to rebuild your self-worth, so you can make decisions about the relationship from a place of clarity.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
There are few things more painful than having an important person in your life be unfaithful. The aftermath impacts one's life in significant ways, and often it can be confusing to work through the myriad of feelings associated with the betrayal. Therapy offers a safe space to explore those feelings, determine what your goals are for moving forward, and learn coping strategies along the way.
