Affair Recovery Therapy in Denver & Wheat Ridge, CO
Heal After Infidelity and Reconnect
Discovering or disclosing an affair can feel like your entire world has been turned upside down. The shock, anger, grief, and confusion can make it hard to know which way is forward — or whether your relationship can survive. It’s completely understandable to feel lost in the storm of emotions that follow.
As a Denver and Wheat Ridge therapist specializing in affair recovery and infidelity counseling, I’m here to help you slow down, make sense of what happened, and begin the healing process — whether you’re hoping to rebuild your relationship or find clarity about what comes next.
When infidelity is uncovered, both partners often feel a mix of emotions that can shift minute by minute — anger, guilt, shame, fear, sadness, and even moments of hope. You may feel pressured to make a quick decision about the future of your relationship simply to stop the pain. Yet, deep down, you might also feel torn — not ready to give up, but unsure how to trust again.
I provide a calm, compassionate space where both of you can be heard and understood. Together, we’ll begin to uncover how this happened, what it means for each of you, and how to start moving toward healing — whether that’s through rebuilding trust and connection or finding your own path forward.
Through affair recovery counseling, you’ll learn how to:
Process the pain, anger, and confusion of betrayal
Understand the underlying dynamics that led to the disconnection
Rebuild trust and safety through honesty and accountability
Strengthen emotional communication and empathy
Clarify your next steps with confidence and self-respect
Healing after infidelity takes courage — but with the right support, it’s possible to move from surviving to truly rebuilding. You don’t have to face this alone.
