Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Infidelity can profoundly disrupt a relationship and leave both partners questioning what they thought they knew about themselves, their partner, and their future together. Whether you discovered an affair, were unfaithful yourself, or are trying to determine whether your relationship can move forward, therapy can provide a place to slow down, understand what happened, and make thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
I work with individuals and couples affected by infidelity with honesty, compassion, and without judgment. My role is not to take sides or tell you whether you should stay together or separate. Instead, I help you understand the emotional and relational patterns that contributed to the crisis, while creating space for accountability, difficult conversations, and genuine understanding.
For the partner who has been betrayed, we can work through the shock, anger, grief, anxiety, and loss of trust that often follow infidelity. For the partner who was unfaithful, we can explore the choices, beliefs, unmet needs, and relationship patterns that contributed to the affair while taking responsibility for the impact of those choices.
When both partners want to explore reconciliation, therapy can help establish healthier communication, rebuild emotional safety, clarify boundaries, and begin the difficult process of restoring trust. When a relationship may be ending, therapy can instead help you navigate that transition with greater clarity, dignity, and emotional stability.
Using an integrative, relational approach that incorporates emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative psychology, and a strength-based perspective, I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and choices. Together, we can work to move beyond blame and reactivity toward greater self-awareness, accountability, and clarity.
Infidelity changes a relationship—but it does not have to define your future. Therapy can help you understand what happened, decide what you want, and move forward in a way that is intentional, authentic, and aligned with the person you want to become.

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.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I help men and women on both sides deal with the heartbreak of infidelity. We examine beliefs and emotions attached to it, may explore triggering memories and patterns, and then process and release through a variety of frameworks like hypnotherapy, parts work (IFS), regression, breathwork, EMT and more. Much of this will help bring to consciousness the clarity to decide what it is that will truly make us happy; first with ourselves, and then with a mate. I help you deal with the demoralizing pain of betrayal and work with you on repairing any triggered belief systems of unworthiness, and feeling unloved, unlovable. I help restore your sense of self worth and find love again, within yourself, within your parnter (if that is the goal), or with your future ideal mate. We also work on any guilt, shame, self esteem wounds, and forgiveness (of self, and partner).

Betrayal can shatter trust in a relationship and in yourself. We meet you where you are — whether you're deciding to rebuild, grieving what's ending, or somewhere in between. Brainspotting helps process the trauma of betrayal at its source, while IFS supports every part of you working through hurt, anger, or uncertainty.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
A lot of anger and grief with this one. And yet, it's also a whistleblower that saves relationships in the end! We can become too complacent in our relationships and sometimes we get hurt so deeply as a way to realize things need to change. But how and where to start? I can help with this.

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.
