Over 30 yrs exp..... Evening sessions available. Laressa Desmond PhD. 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.
The atmosphere in my sessions is designed to lower your stress & eliminate distractions so that you can focus on what's important to you. My first goal is always to help you feel safe & understood. There is emotional relief in having an experienced Couples Therapist supporting and empowering you thru it. Afternoon, Evening sessions also available.
