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
Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Infidelity shatters trust at its foundation. The shock, grief, and confusion that follow can leave both partners questioning everything - their history, their future, and even themselves. But betrayal does not have to be the end of the relationship; it can become the beginning of a more honest and emotionally connected one. My work in infidelity repair focuses on rebuilding safety and understanding through structure, empathy, and accountability. We start by addressing the immediate pain and disorientation, then move toward clarity - uncovering what led to the breach and what each partner needs to heal. This process is not about blame; it’s about repair, responsibility, and choice. For the hurt partner, therapy offers validation and a path toward self-trust. For the partner who strayed, it offers the chance to understand the emotional landscape that made the betrayal possible and to learn how to show remorse in a way that heals, not defends. Together, we create a new relational foundation - one that can hold honesty, eroticism, and emotional safety at once. Whether you ultimately stay together or part ways, the goal is the same: clarity, integrity, and repair. Sessions are available online through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Infidelity and broken trust can leave both partners feeling devastated, confused, angry, and emotionally disconnected. I work with individuals and couples dealing with the aftermath of secrecy, pornography use, affairs, compulsive sexual behavior, and betrayal trauma. My approach focuses on helping people move beyond defensiveness, shame, and blame toward greater honesty, emotional understanding, accountability, and rebuilding trust in a realistic and grounded way.

Norfolk is home to Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — and sits at the center of the Hampton Roads military metro, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, PTSD, and the challenges of military life. The city's large African American population and history of racial inequity create consistent demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and the Veterans Affairs Hampton Roads Health Care System provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Old Dominion University and Eastern Virginia Medical School maintain clinical training programs that feed practitioners into the broader Norfolk therapy community.
