Affair Recovery Counseling

For those who are seeking healing after infidelity, affairs, or cheating

Affairs are messy. They are likely the one thing you said would be a relationship deal breaker, yet now you’re questioning if there actually is a possibility to stay together. As doubtful as you may feel about your own sanity for even considering that option, many relationships can continue successfully and even be stronger after an affair. Yours can absolutely be one of them.

Up to 40% of relationships are impacted by affairs.

Couples counseling for infidelity can help you find your grounding again. Working on your relationship after an affair can give you and your partner ways to communicate about the betrayal, find tools to help with triggers and ensuing arguments, and help you build an even closer bond to move forward with. Couples counseling for affair recovery can hold all the parts you’re feeling – the hurt from the betrayal, the sadness and loss from changing your relationship dynamics, the guilt and shame from the participating partner, the hope that you might make it through, and the “craziness” you feel for even considering that as an option.

What to expect from affair recovery counseling…

Depending on when the infidelity was discovered, we will first work to establish some semblance of normality. This is NOT sweeping your hurt under the rug. This is helping you get by with the day-to-day things that need to be taken care of, like your work and life responsibilities.

Then we will work to address the emotional upheaval that both of you are experiencing. Depending on your relationship this may require a few individual sessions to give you space to be heard and validated on your own. This includes discussing apologies and what is needed to move forward.

We will examine what happened to cause the infidelity to occur and work to find meaning and understanding that can help strengthen your relationship and protect it from future betrayals.

Couples often report experiencing a deeper understanding of each other and a connection they’ve never experienced before after engaging in counseling for affair recovery. While that may seem distant, terrifying, or unwanted right now, you wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t questioning the possibility. Let couples counseling guide you through the process and reach a place of healing.
