32 yrs exp..... Evening & Sunday 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. Perhaps you are trying to decide whether you can work through it together? I have experience helping Couples navigate the stormy emotions that threaten to drown your relationship. 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 & Sunday sessions also available.
Please note about Insurance: I am an Out of Network Provider only. Email for an explanation of what that means and how it works. I have fee options and package deals available on my website.
