Starting Infidelity counseling

What is infidelity counseling?

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.

How does infidelity counseling work?

Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.

Is infidelity counseling conducted in person or online?

Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Chesterfield, VA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does infidelity counseling last?

The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Chesterfield, VA typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.

Infidelity and Adultery Counseling – Therapists and Counselors in Chesterfield

Discovering an affair can be a very painful experience for the betrayed spouse, leaving him or her confused, angry, jealous, extremely hurt, and in some cases even traumatized. Once revealed, infidelity undercuts the feelings of trust and security in a relationship, often rendering divorce or separation inevitable.

Not just the partners, but everyone else involved (e.g. children) will experience a negative impact of this event—whether on their health, mental well-being, or general quality of their life.

Thriveworks Chesterfield counselors know the turmoil infidelity can cause in a relationship. If you and your partner need help working through that pain, contact us. We’re committed to helping restore your relationship.

What Will Counseling for Infidelity Be Like?

Counseling for infidelity is very similar to regular couples counseling. The main difference is the trigger that brings you to counseling. In the case of an affair, both partners are experiencing the fallout of infidelity and may seek counseling to repair the damage from that affair.

However, in both couples counseling and infidelity counseling, the counselor will help you look deeper than the surface issues that brought you to a professional.

In infidelity counseling, your Thriveworks Chesterfield counselor will speak with each of you to get as complete an understanding of your relationship as possible. While your counselor will usually ask for the basic details of the affair, there won’t be a need to repeatedly go over the information.

The goal of infidelity counseling is to help both partners heal and forgive. Beyond that, we’ll work with you to determine what feelings caused the unfaithful partner to engage in extramarital contact.

The complexity of emotions following a disclosure of infidelity makes it very hard for the affected partners to deal with the situation alone. Without professional support, they may act in a manner that further aggravates the conflict. Counseling for infidelity will not only help the couple manage the initially extreme feelings but can also enable them to tackle the underlying problems that contributed to the affair.

I was so nervous about going to therapy being that I’ve never foresaw a reason or need to go… I had encountered a very traumatic accident at work and it left me confused and depressed about my career path! I can honestly say if it weren’t for Ariane I’d still be left battling confusion and and depression from my accident. I’ve suffered anxiety and panic attacks from the incident but Ari has given me helpful tips to get through my tough times when I’m experiencing those attacks. I’m just so grateful to have encountered a very experienced and understanding counselor who genuinely has my best interest at a full recovery at heart!

This was my first therapy experience. I was in desperate need for help. Jenee was my therapist for a year and I can’t overstate how incredibly helpful she has been. She met me where I was mentally and helped me to find myself and healthy/productive ways of dealing with my everyday struggles. I’m a completely different and happier person thanks to her hard work.
