Infidelity
Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Infidelity shatters trust at its foundation. The shock, grief, and confusion that follow can leave both partners questioning everything - their history, their future, and even themselves. But betrayal does not have to be the end of the relationship; it can become the beginning of a more honest and emotionally connected one. My work in infidelity repair focuses on rebuilding safety and understanding through structure, empathy, and accountability. We start by addressing the immediate pain and disorientation, then move toward clarity - uncovering what led to the breach and what each partner needs to heal. This process is not about blame; it’s about repair, responsibility, and choice. For the hurt partner, therapy offers validation and a path toward self-trust. For the partner who strayed, it offers the chance to understand the emotional landscape that made the betrayal possible and to learn how to show remorse in a way that heals, not defends. Together, we create a new relational foundation - one that can hold honesty, eroticism, and emotional safety at once. Whether you ultimately stay together or part ways, the goal is the same: clarity, integrity, and repair. Sessions are available online through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I work with couples where infidelity has been an issue, helping them find a path to forgiveness and navigate the emotional aftereffects. I also work with individuals who want to sort out the emotional impact of infidelity. For individuals, even when forgiveness is not possible, therapy can help people overcome and understand the feelings it produces in order to emerge stronger.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Infidelity can profoundly affect trust, self-esteem, and a person's sense of security within a relationship. I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate the emotional aftermath of betrayal, whether they are considering rebuilding the relationship, deciding whether to move forward separately, or simply trying to make sense of what has happened. While couples therapy can be an important part of the healing process, individual therapy offers a space to process your own emotions, clarify your needs and values, and make thoughtful decisions about the future of your relationship.

Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Infidelity doesn't just break trust. It breaks the story you thought you were living. Whether you're the one who was betrayed or the one who caused the harm, the aftermath is disorienting, painful, and often isolating. People on both sides frequently feel like they can't talk about it honestly, not with friends, not with family, and sometimes not even with each other.
This is a space where both experiences are held without judgment. The person who was betrayed deserves room to express the full weight of what happened without being rushed toward forgiveness. The person who caused the harm deserves a space to understand what led them there, without shame shutting the conversation down before it can go anywhere useful.
Affair recovery is not a straight line, and it doesn't always end in the same place for every couple. Some rebuild. Some don't. What matters is that you get to make that decision from a place of clarity, not just pain. The work here is honest, steady, and built for exactly how complicated this is.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
