Infidelity
JAMES COLVIN
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, M.DIV.
Though painful, most couples can survive infidelity, while many cannot to be sure. There are phases that the couple and each partner g0 through which are both dissimilar and similar. Initially the partner who has had the affair may simultaneously feel the guilt of having gone outside the relationship as well as the grief of leaving the newe partner. The other partner in the relationship usually begins with rage and a sense of having been betrayed. The therapist's job may include helping to identify both the refgeressive parts that got activated as well as what the inner Self of each partner wants and is willing to work toward.

Infidelity
Christopher Cannon
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
An affair can shatter the foundation of a relationship and leave both partners reeling. Drawing on PACT and attachment-based approaches, I help couples slow down, understand what happened without endless blame cycles, and decide whether and how to rebuild. I also support individuals sorting through betrayal on their own, whether they were the one hurt or the one who strayed.

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.

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
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.
