Infidelity: Healing the Relational Fracture
Moving Beyond Betrayal toward Radical Reconnection
The discovery of infidelity is often described as a "relational earthquake." It shatters the foundation of safety, leaving both partners in a state of profound overwhelm, shock, and grief. In my practice, I provide a sturdy, non-judgmental container to navigate this crisis. We don't just "move past" the betrayal; we move through it, examining the systemic roots of the fracture and rebuilding a relationship that is more authentic and resilient than before.
Navigating the Aftermath
Infidelity triggers a specific kind of attachment trauma that requires careful, specialized handling. Together, we address:
The Crisis Phase: Managing the "flooding" of emotions, the intrusive thoughts, and the loss of reality that follow the discovery.
The "Why" vs. the "What": Moving away from the paralyzing "detective work" toward a deeper understanding of the systemic gaps and personal vulnerabilities that allowed the fracture to occur.
Rejection Sensitivity & Shame: Addressing the intense pain of the betrayed partner and the paralyzing shame of the involved partner that often prevents true repair.
A Clinical Path to Restoration
With over 20 years of experience and specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR, I guide couples through a structured process of healing:
Stabilizing the System: We first focus on de-escalating the "conflict loop" and establishing immediate boundaries to prevent further harm and burnout.
EMDR for Betrayal Trauma: We use EMDR to help the betrayed partner process the "flashback" memories and somatic triggers associated with the discovery.
Rebuilding Secure Attachment: Using EFT, we help you have the "courageous dialogues" necessary to express unmet needs and rebuild trust—one vulnerable interaction at a time.
Healing for Individuals & Couples
Whether you are the partner who was betrayed, the partner who stepped outside the marriage, or a couple deciding whether to stay or go, I offer a space rooted in mutuality and respect. I have extensive experience working with healers, pastors, and leaders for whom infidelity carries an extra layer of professional and spiritual risk.
Infidelity is a crisis, but it does not have to be the end of your story. It can be the catalyst for a more honest and deeply connected "We."

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.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals and couples experiencing infidelity, betrayal trauma, relationship distress, trust breakdowns, and emotional pain related to affairs or relational rupture. Infidelity can deeply impact emotional safety, attachment, self-esteem, and overall relationship stability, often resulting in anxiety, grief, anger, depression, emotional dysregulation, and difficulty trusting again.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to infidelity and relationship recovery, helping clients process the emotional impact of betrayal while also addressing any underlying trauma, attachment wounds, or unresolved emotional patterns that may be contributing to relational difficulties. Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and structured environment to explore pain, rebuild emotional regulation, and work toward healing.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process betrayal trauma, reduce emotional distress, and restore a sense of stability and clarity. Treatment focuses on emotional healing, improved communication, and rebuilding trust in a thoughtful and intentional way.
Brad also works with couples and families when appropriate to support the repair process after infidelity or relational rupture. Relationship-focused therapy can help improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, clarify needs and expectations, and rebuild trust where possible. When all parties are engaged in the healing process, it can support greater emotional safety, accountability, and long-term relational stability.
Infidelity recovery is not simply about “moving on” or “getting over it.” It often requires deeper emotional work that addresses both the immediate betrayal trauma and the underlying relational dynamics that may have contributed to distress. Brad’s approach focuses on meaningful, lasting change rather than surface-level solutions.
Healing is possible. With the right support, individuals and couples can process betrayal, rebuild trust where appropriate, and move toward healthier communication, stronger emotional connection, and a more stable and fulfilling relationship moving forward.
