Affair Recovery Counseling & Therapy

Replacing negative patterns with healthy patterns requires rigorous structure, honesty, and tools. As a professional marriage and family therapists, we can add structure, provide a safe space where you can be open, and implement resources that can alter unhealthy habits and renew your relationship.

Step 1: Make A Decision To Want Help And Reach Out

Affair recovery is like a three legged stool. There is the betrayed spouse’s individual recovery, the betraying spouse’s individual recovery, and the marital recovery if, and when, appropriate.

At Eagle's Wing, we address all three components to bring the total and complete healing needed. As a part of our intake process, we will gather vital information and develop a customized plan for what is needed in the therapeutic process.

Step 3: Implementing Your Personalized Plan, One Day At A Time

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, going through a therapeutic disclosure, healthy coping, healthy boundaries, needs for safety, and receiving support.  Our therapists provide direction and implement interventions designed to move the individual and/or couple through the pain and toward healing. 

It is important to note that when in the crisis stage of betrayal and affair recovery, traditional marital therapy is not effective in healing the wounds or re-establishing trust. Going on more dates, learning one another’s love languages, simply working on communication or primarily focusing on other marital issues is reserved for later sessions once trust and safety have begun to be rebuilt. For this reason, individual sessions may be more frequent in the beginning until the appropriate time to meet as a couple (if applicable).
