Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Infidelity is a frequent topic in my clinical work. Often couples will come to me following an affair and want to work on repairing their relationship. Other times a client I am working with will either have had an affair or is having an affair and is wanting to consciously figure out what to do about it. In other cases I assist clients whose spouse did have one or more affairs or is cheating. In still other cases I work with people who have had or are having relationships with married people. My approach to these situations is to not be judgmental but rather to help the parties involved to consciously address the situation. This could involve working individually with one of the parties, or with the couple, depending on the situation. As a therapist I am comfortable with working in either capacity. People in this situation find that I am supportive, non judgmental, and able to appreciate the position of each party.

Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we understand that infidelity can shatter trust and lead to deep emotional pain in relationships. Our approach focuses on unpacking the complex layers of fear and insecurity that often underlie acts of betrayal. Through the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we help both partners identify their core fears—such as fear of abandonment, loss of identity or loss of meaning—that may have contributed to the infidelity. We also explore the “chief defenses” that led to disconnection, allowing partners to gain insight into their behaviors and motivations. By guiding couples to do the opposite of these defenses, we create a safe environment for honest dialogue, healing, and rebuilding trust. This process not only addresses the wounds caused by infidelity but also empowers partners to foster deeper understanding, empathy, and renewed commitment, ultimately strengthening their relationship moving forward.

Dan Fink
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Most people will not get all of their needs met in a single relationship. Let's explore different ways of getting needs met and potentially different types of relationship arrangements, such a polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, and other forms of relationship anarchy.

Marianne Albina
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT # 139542
I provide a compassionate framework to assist individuals and couples in navigating the complex emotions and stories that emerge with infidelity. This therapeutic approach encourages clients to express their personal experiences of resentment, betrayal, and pain, while also delving into broader relational and societal narratives that may shape their perspective of fidelity and trust. By externalizing the infidelity as a separate entity from their identity and relationship, clients gain agency to decide what they want for their relationship moving forward.

Infidelity is as painful as it gets. There are many forms of infidelity, including sexual, emotional, and online infidelities. This is delicate work that requires some patience and willingness to repair the deep hurts. With the investment of both partners, it can be done and couples can move forward to have secure and rewarding relationships.
