Couples Therapy After Cheating & Betrayal
Infidelity can feel like your world has been turned upside down. Whether you’re the partner who was betrayed or the one who cheated, therapy can help you make sense of the pain, heal, and figure out what comes next.
You’re Not Alone in This
Discovering an affair—or realizing you’ve hurt the one you love—can leave you feeling:
Shocked, betrayed, or heartbroken
Overwhelmed with guilt or shame
Confused about whether to stay or leave
Stuck in cycles of arguing, withdrawal, or mistrust
It’s normal to feel lost. Therapy provides a safe, judgment-free space to process these emotions and begin finding clarity.
