Infidelity
Dr. Brandee Zettel
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC
Infidelity, emotional or physical, can be a traumatic betrayal that leaves deep wounds. I provide a structured, compassionate environment where both partners feel heard and supported. My approach includes:
Atonement: Navigating the immediate crisis, establishing transparency, and beginning the process of honest communication.
Attunement: Investigating the factors that led to the breach of trust and learning how to reconnect emotionally and spiritually.
Attachment: Building a "new" marriage on a foundation of deeper understanding, shared values, and reinforced commitment.

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.

Infidelity
Jordan Johnson, Creating Connection PLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC(WI), LPC(VA), LPCC(MN)
Many relationships that I work with have a history of one or both partners being unfaithful. This has a strong impact on couples counseling, so I've developed some tools and resources for couples that I work with to understand the infidelity, heal brokenness prior to the infidelity, and start a new chapter in their relationship that is marked by trust, honesty, loyalty and intimate connection.

Chesapeake is the largest city in Virginia by land area — a mostly suburban and semi-rural community spread across the southern Hampton Roads region — with a therapy landscape shaped by its proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and the broader military community, as well as the particular stresses of a sprawling suburb where long commutes and limited walkable community can contribute to social isolation. The city's large African American population and its place within Hampton Roads' racially complex social fabric create demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside the broader Hampton Roads healthcare ecosystem. Many Chesapeake residents access therapy through the wider Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro, given the city's geographic extent and integration with the regional mental health network.
