Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
I am a relationship specialist. Did you know that the outcome of the relationship does not hinge on whether there was an affair? Affairs can be overcome, but they need to be thoroughly understood, not only from the perspective of the unfaithful partner and their dynamics, but also seeing its effect on the betrayed partner, and any relationship dynamics that weaken the commitment system. Affairs cause betrayal trauma, and that trauma needs to be talked about, faced and healed for healthy reconnection to happen. This can happen and trust can be rebuilt, but please reach out for help soon before more damage happens by not knowing how to handle things. The outside relationship has to end before therapy can begin. If you are ambivalent, I offer "Directional Therapy", and this provides a process where you both seek clarity and confidence in your decision-making, rather than jumping into a commitment of psychotherapy. This is often quite helpful as a first stage.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
There are few things more painful than having an important person in your life be unfaithful. The aftermath impacts one's life in significant ways, and often it can be confusing to work through the myriad of feelings associated with the betrayal. Therapy offers a safe space to explore those feelings, determine what your goals are for moving forward, and learn coping strategies along the way.
