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. 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
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
I have worked with many couples where this has been an issue. The first thing that must be handled, if the partner who was cheated on wants the relationship to continue, is to determine if there is real commitment on both sides, and if both are willing and able to have real, meaningful discussions about what was not working for each of them prior to the affair.
