Debbie Allen, A Safe Place To Share
Life Coach, Certified Betrayal Trauma & Sex/Porn Addiction Coach, Certified Trauma Healing Coach, IITAP, ADOH
Relationships can be deeply impacted by infidelity, betrayal, pornography, sex addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, emotional disconnection, and loss of trust. I help couples navigate these difficult relationship challenges through confidential, compassionate, and nonjudgmental marriage and couples support
My work includes infidelity recovery, betrayal recovery, betrayal trauma, trust issues, intimacy problems, sexual relationship concerns, pornography use, porn addiction, sex addiction, and problematic or compulsive sexual behaviors. Whether you are trying to save your marriage after an affair, rebuild trust following betrayal, or address the impact of pornography or sexual compulsivity, A Safe Place To Share provides a structured space to understand what happened and determine how to move forward.
For couples affected by infidelity or betrayal, we can address anger, grief, anxiety, insecurity, shame, resentment, loss of trust, and the challenges of restoring emotional and physical intimacy. When porn addiction, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior affects a relationship, both partners may need support, the partner struggling with the behavior may experience shame, secrecy, and guilt, while the betrayed partner may experience trauma, emotional distress, loss of safety, and difficulty trusting again.
Together, we can work toward rebuilding trust, improving communication, repairing emotional and physical intimacy, establishing healthy boundaries, understanding relationship patterns, and creating meaningful change. My goal is to help couples create relationships that are healthier, safer, more honest, and more connected.
If your marriage or relationship has been affected by an affair, infidelity, betrayal, pornography, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, A Safe Place To Share can help you understand the path forward and determine what healing and a healthier relationship can look like.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
I love working with couples! In coupleship, I believe you need a large assortment of interventions to accomodate all the different personalities, but the one thing that remains consistent is 'Effective Communication.' LEARNING how to LISTEN, convey feelings, validate, and empathize. I use a combination of Imago, Emotional Focus Therapy, and some of the wonderful skills taught by the Gottmans.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If your relationship feels stuck in the same arguments, distance, or misunderstandings, you’re not alone. You may find yourselves having the same fight over and over, feeling unheard, or growing apart despite wanting things to improve. Even when there’s love and commitment, it can feel frustrating and discouraging when you don’t know how to break the pattern.
I help couples understand and change the interaction patterns that create conflict and disconnection. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with elements of the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Therapy, and The Developmental Model for Couples, we identify the specific dynamics that keep you stuck. I also integrate tools such as clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), NLP, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help reduce reactivity, improve communication, and create more meaningful emotional and physical connection.
What’s often missing isn’t effort—most couples are trying, but without a clear structure, conversations tend to escalate or shut down. Without understanding the specific patterns driving conflict, it’s easy to keep repeating the same interactions and feeling further apart.
The fact that you’re here suggests you want something different for your relationship. If you’re both willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you communicate more effectively, resolve conflict with less escalation, and rebuild the connection that brought you together in the first place.and sustain healthy relationships.
