You found the evidence.
The messages. The receipt. The confession you never wanted to hear.
And in a single moment, everything changed.
Now you can't sleep. You replay every conversation. You swing between rage, panic, numbness, and desperate hope — and you don't feel like yourself anymore.
Instead of answers, you have more questions. Instead of safety, you have hypervigilance. And just when you think you're okay, something triggers you and you're right back at square one.
You are not crazy. You are not weak. You are not overreacting.
You’ve experienced betrayal. And betrayal trauma requires specialized care.

We understand how you feel. And we can help.
We are a team of specialized betrayal trauma therapists, and for more than ten years our practice has focused exclusively on infidelity and betrayal trauma.
We don't take sides. We take betrayal care seriously.
We begin by stabilizing and supporting the betrayed partner first. From there, we assess what is safe, healthy, and needed before anything else is addressed. If the goal is to rebuild, we will walk you through that. If moving on is the healthiest path, we will support you through that too. We don't take sides. We do what is best for you.
For Couples Ready to Rebuild
Whether you're trying to decide if your relationship can survive, or you've already committed to rebuilding, we provide structured couples therapy designed specifically for infidelity recovery.
We work with both partners, supporting the betrayed, holding the unfaithful accountable, and creating a clear path forward together. Our couples therapists are trained in Gottman Method and EMDR, and they understand the unique dynamics that infidelity creates in a relationship.
Most couples see meaningful progress within 3 to 5 sessions. You don't need to know whether you want to stay or leave before starting, because therapy will help you find that clarity.

Most therapists treat infidelity like a relationship problem. It's not.
Infidelity is a trauma event.
When trust collapses, your brain goes into survival mode, your body stays on high alert, and your sense of reality fractures. If therapy moves too quickly into communication skills or understanding both sides, the betrayed partner is often left feeling unseen, unprotected, and pressured to reconcile before they're ready.
We understand what most therapists miss...
The shock, the obsessive questioning, the hypervigilance, the sexual triggers, the fear of making the wrong decision, and the power imbalance that sets in the moment of discovery. We don't start with the relationship. We start with you. This isn't generic marriage counseling. This is structured, strategic recovery built around the specific wounds that betrayal leaves behind.
We Handle the Complexity. You Focus on Healing.
Never wonder what your next step should be.
Our specialized betrayal trauma therapists bring over a decade of focused clinical expertise to every session, so you can stabilize, heal, and move forward with clarity.
Every session meets you where you are and helps you take one step further than where you started.
Immediate stabilization tools you can use between sessions to manage triggers, sleep, and overwhelm.
A clear understanding of what is happening in your nervous system and why you feel the way you do.
Real progress toward becoming a stronger, more grounded version of yourself. And if repairing the relationship is a goal, we'll help you navigate that too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions. Honest answers.
What is betrayal trauma and how do I know if I have it?
Betrayal trauma occurs when someone you deeply trusted violates that trust, often through infidelity or deception. It can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, difficulty sleeping, emotional numbness, or feeling like you can't stop replaying what happened.
If any of this sounds familiar, you are not overreacting. What you are experiencing is a real, recognized response to a significant wound.
Do I have to talk about all the details of what happened?
No, and you will never be pushed to share more than you are ready to. Healing does not require you to relive every detail of what happened.
Our approach is guided by your pace and your comfort, and many of the therapeutic methods we use, including EMDR and mindfulness-based approaches, are specifically designed to help you process trauma without having to narrate it in full. You are always in control of what you share and when.
Is betrayal trauma therapy right for me?
This work is for anyone who has experienced the pain of betrayal, whether that is infidelity, emotional affairs, deception, or a breach of trust in a committed relationship.
It is for people who feel like their world has been turned upside down and are ready to start making sense of it, even if they are not sure where to begin.
This may not be the right fit if you are not yet ready to explore your own healing independent of your partner's choices.
If you are unsure, the free 15-minute call is the perfect place to start.
Can therapy help even if my partner isn't willing to come?
Absolutely. Your healing is not dependent on your partner's participation.
Individual therapy gives you the space to process what happened, understand your responses, and rebuild your sense of safety and self, entirely on your own terms.
How does couples therapy for infidelity work?
We start by meeting with both partners together to understand what happened and where you're at now. From there, we may work with you together, individually, or a combination of both, depending on what's safest and most effective for your situation.
Our approach is structured and goal-oriented. We don't just talk in circles. Each session has a clear purpose, and you'll leave with concrete tools you can use between sessions. Most couples begin to feel a shift within the first 3 to 5 sessions, though deeper healing takes longer. Whether your goal is to rebuild trust, improve communication, or gain clarity on the future of the relationship, we'll create a plan that fits your specific needs.
How is a betrayal trauma therapist different from a regular therapist?
A betrayal trauma therapist has specific training in the unique ways betrayal affects the mind and body.
Rather than general talk therapy, we use targeted approaches like EMDR, Gottman Method, and DBT that are proven to address trauma at its root.
Does insurance cover betrayal trauma therapy?
Depending on your insurance plan, therapy can be covered up to 100%. We accept 14 insurance providers, and we also offer a cash pay option for those who prefer it. Most clients invest in 3 to 5 sessions to see meaningful progress, with a typical starting investment of $1,000 or more. We're happy to help you figure out what works best for you during your free 15-minute consultation.
