Group is currently inactive. This group is for women who have experienced infidelity in their marriage or relationship. The purpose of this women's group is to initiate discussion on why people cheat, and the emotional instability it can cause as a result. I understand Infidelity is a perverse topic due to feelings of shame, embarrassment and even guilt. This group will give you an opportunity to share and identify with other women, and develop a new framework for understanding relationships.

Not a group but a couple's retreat. Couples may come for 3-5 days and stay in our Airbnb (or a location of your choice). We'll do an extended couples' session each day, and an EMDR session with each person, which helps release and resolve anxiety, anger, grief, triggers from relationship issues such as broken trust, arguments, etc. If you are local, we can do intensive work without your staying here. With intensive work we can go much deeper than in weekly sessions. EMDR greatly assists in this process. For more information about EMDR, see my website.

Infidelity Support Groups
How does therapy for infidelity work?
A skilled infidelity therapist will provide a safe space for clients to communicate their feelings and concerns. The goal is to be completely honest about what led to the cheating and how it has affected the entire family to prevent it from recurring in the future. The therapist will help the clients work on rebuilding mutual trust and respect and developing better communication and conflict-resolution skills. If the goal is to remain a couple, clients will learn the “danger signs” for their specific relationship, and they will make a renewed commitment to be faithful.
How long does therapy for infidelity take?
Recovery from infidelity can take time, and it can vary from person to person. Generally, a therapist will want to see the clients at least once a week for around six months. Then the sessions can be arranged as needed, depending on the clients’ individual needs. While therapy may end or shift to an as-needed basis, it can take up to two years or more for some clients to fully recover from infidelity.
How does therapy help the partner who was cheated on?
When a client discovers their partner’s infidelity, their trust in the relationship and in the life they had together may be shattered. They often experience mental health symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They don’t always want to stay in the relationship; they may feel ambivalent or may even want to leave. Therapy gives these clients a safe and healthy way to communicate all of their complicated emotions and concerns.
How does therapy help the partner who committed infidelity?
Infidelity often occurs when one or both partners’ emotional needs are not being met in the relationship. Therapy can help this client understand why they cheated and figure out how to address those unmet needs without resorting to infidelity in the future. This can lessen (but not entirely eliminate) the risk of repeated infidelity. Clients who cheat may also feel intense guilt about deceiving their partners, a sentiment that they can work through in therapy.
