Starting Infidelity counseling in Media

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 Media, PA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

Counseling for Infidelity in Media, PA—Adultery, Affairs, and Cheating

Whatever term people use—cheating, adultery, or infidelity has major repercussions for the whole family. Discovering that a partner has had an affair is usually a traumatic time, and couples can need a professional’s help to navigate the affair, whether they pursue divorce or reconciliation.

The counselors at Thriveworks Media, PA know how bewildering adultery can be, and they have supported many couples as they find their way toward a healthy relationship again, regardless of what a healthy relationship means for them. if you could benefit from talking to an infidelity counselor, reach out to Thriveworks Media. We’re here to help.

What Is Infidelity?

Cheating may seem like a simple idea: the implicit or explicit expectations for a committed relationship were broken. But anyone who has lived through infidelity knows that reality is more complicated. To help their clients understand, therapists sometimes group affairs into three kinds:

  • Emotional affairs – More than being friends, emotional affairs hinder a person’s ability to connect with their spouse, even though they do not involve sexual activity. Emotional affairs happen when a person builds a deep, emotional connection with a person who is not their spouse or partner. The connection, while not physical, may still involve fantasy, flirting, secrets, and innuendo.
  • Sexual affairs – Many affairs involve one-night stands, pornography addiction, visits to prostitutes, and other sexual activity with little to no emotional connection. With some sexual affairs, the spouse committing adultery may also have a sexual addiction.
  • Emotional and sexual affairs – When an affair involves a long-term relationship, there are often sexual and emotional elements to it.

How Might Infidelity Counseling Help?

Thriveworks counselors have provided support and wisdom for many clients whose relationships were harmed by infidelity. They have taught many couples the interpersonal skills they need to overcome a painful season. For some couples, overcoming means seeking a divorce. For others, it means pursuing reconciliation. Either way, counseling may help both spouses find healing after an affair.

What does counseling address? There are many elements and goals that Thriveworks counselors may incorporate into their treatment plan for infidelity. Each client’s treatment plan is tailored for their specific needs and goals, but a treatment plan may include …

  • Facilitating Communication — In the aftermath of an affair, communication can completely disintegrate. A couple may coldly ignore each other or speak with hot anger. While these options are completely understandable, they are not helpful for either spouse. A marriage therapist can facilitate healthier ways of communicating.
  • Clarifying Goals — A couple may know they want a divorce, a separation, or reconciliation, but often times, one or both spouses do not know what they want. Marriage therapy can help clarify the relationship’s goals and then adjustment them as necessary when the relationship grows or stagnates.
  • Earning Trust — By definition, adultery breaks trust. The spouse who committed adultery may have to address behaviors so that they can earn trust. The uninvolved spouse may need to form boundaries that can help them trust again. A marriage therapist can guide a couple toward achieving the amount of trust their relationship will need for the future.

Communication via text is great. Set up is easy and Desiree is amazing! . Unless therapist assigns the pre anxiety survey, maybe stop sending it. Not a big deal though.

Erin is amazing and has provided me an outlet that I wouldn't otherwise have. I am grateful for the notes she keeps (I can't follow my own head some days) and her genuine concern for what is happening in my life. I never feel judged or talked down to. I always feel better after a session and am thankful to have her, and Thriveworks!

I went into my first session absolutely terrified, but Krista immediately put me at ease. She is warm, compassionate, and truly listens in a way that made me feel safe and understood. What started as one of the hardest steps for me has already become such a positive and encouraging experience. I'm so grateful I found her.

I have been with Thriveworks for almost three years and from the very beginning, I feel my therapist and I clicked. She's relatable, flexible in thought and practice, and overall safe to be around mentally, emotionally, and physically. Everyone I love knows about her and vice versa. I would choose her again and again in every lifetime.
