I recently discovered my spouse has been involved with another person. I am feeling very angry and hurt and I don’t know what to do. Can couples therapy help us work through this and save our marriage?Discovering infidelity is typically a very painful and traumatic event for a spouse. It usually causes a variety of very intense emotions for both partners and the relationship can usually benefit from the assistance of a licensed marriage therapist who specializes in infidelity recovery. I have found that many clients I have worked with over the years have not only recovered from the pain of infidelity, but have thrived afterwards. While infidelity recovery can be difficult, it can also be a very rewarding transformative experience and I welcome the opportunity to accompany clients through that journey. Learn more
