Infidelity Therapists in Sherman Oaks, CA

Are you struggling in your marriage, feeling misunderstood and unappreciated by your partner? Do you worry about the impact your conflicts may have on your children's future relationships? My name is Dr. Fibus, and I specialize in helping couples transform their relationships and save their families. My ideal client is someone who is seeking a compassionate and collaborative approach to overcoming relationship challenges, with a desire to create a lasting and fulfilling marriage.

I am a direct and pragmatic person with a warm and empathetic demeanor. With over a decade of experience, I am adept at identifying the underlying causes of ongoing distress and dysfunction. My goal in working with clients is to help them develop understanding and insight about the origins of their problems so that they can utilize and enhance their current strengths to bring about growth and healing. In addition, I am actively involved with various research communities to remain current with the newest and most effective treatment modalities.

Welcome to my practice. I have about 15 years of clinical experience and have been featured on NBC/KCAL/HLN as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity , financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

29 yrs exp..... Evening & Sunday sessions available. If you are experiencing the devastation of an infidelity I am here to help you. This is one of the most painful things that can happen to a Couple. The impact is deeply distressing on every level & the fallout is far reaching.

Many couples do make it through this terrible loss of trust. Email me and let's see how I can help you.

All sessions are held virtually. Let's face it, dating, sex, long term relationships and marriage can be really challenging. Just like other areas in our lives, we get help when we don't know how to do something. Why should sex and relationship help be any different? I offer couples and individual counseling for those who are struggling in their relationship, dating, with infidelity , sex, or deciding to divorce.

People who come to see me are often dealing with painful life-altering changes, depression, or anxiety. Some have long-standing emotional problems that have affected relationships or progress in their careers. People who have had therapy in the past and found it helpful are seeking to learn and understand more about their strengths and vulnerabilities. Frequently couples are struggling to recapture good feelings they once had with each other. Others want to recover from discovered infidelity . With my help they seek to manage the guilt, devastation and pain of lost trust so they may create a new relationship on sturdier ground.

I specialize in couples, relationships and life transitions of all kinds. I'm mature. Been there myself and can light the way. I have a deep therapeutic toolkit tailored to your unique situation. I don't live in an ivory tower of psychoanalytic theory and am told I'm easy to talk to and compassionate. I believe in personal growth and walk the talk. I returned to grad school at age 60 to follow my lifelong dream to be a therapist and provide a welcoming environment where you as an individual or a couple can experience self-determination. I enjoy working with people of all ages, ethnicities and sexual orientations.

Does talking about sex make you feel uncomfortable? Do you struggle with not feeling confident in your skin? You are not alone. Many times anxiety may come from dealing with sexuality and learning how to maneuver in this world. Often, our parents didn't talk to us about sex and interactions that go along with it. Unfortunately, their parents didn't either and the cycle continues. I enjoy helping people come into their full sexual self. This new awareness tends to breed confidence that leaks into all parts of life.

Everyone has a 'sexual story.' Our culture has a love-hate relationship with sex and sends many mixed messages. I help people explore the legacy of their sexual story and identify the biological, social and psychological barriers to sexual health and satisfaction. I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine with 30 years of clinical and teaching experience. I developed my own model of talking to clients about sex ("Comfort-Inducing Sexuality Dialogue") that is both comforting and profoundly liberating.

You are struggling with Polyamory. It’s become a “thing” in our society and you feel so confused! Polyamory promises a life of integrity and transparency.

Poly chat groups and Meetups aren’t your thing. You just need solid information about how people make Polyamory work. I can help you sort it out! I can explain what’s possible in the world of multiple partner relating—what has worked for others…and what might work for you.
