Marriage & Couples Therapy for Infidelity

Affair recovery is like a three legged stool. There is the betrayed spouse’s individual recovery, the offending spouse’s individual recovery, and the marital recovery if, and when, appropriate. At New Anchor we address all three components to bring the total and complete healing needed. As a part of our intake process, both spouses take assessments that gather vital information to the therapeutic process. These assessments measure levels of trauma, commitment, the presence of addiction, depression, anxiety, etc.

Using the assessments to guide your intake session, we will develop an additional qualitative understanding which will facilitate the development of your personalized recovery plan. Your plan can include individual therapy, group therapy, EMDR therapy, couples therapy, and/or mindfulness.

You and your therapist will continue to collaborate as you begin the process of healing. Generally, this includes a variety of important therapeutic elements such as understanding your trauma, grieving your losses, navigating questions like :“ How should an affair be ended?”, and “How many details are helpful/hurtful?”. Other important topics include setting boundaries and gathering information needed in order to make decisions about the relationship through obtaining a therapeutic disclosure (when possible). Our therapists provide direction, and implement interventions designed to move the individual or couple through the pain and toward healing.
