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 Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge, 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 Counseling in Woodbridge, VA—Adultery Counselors and Therapists

Although no new phenomenon, the number of people seeking counseling for infidelity or adultery-related problems has been on the rise significantly in recent years. Thriveworks Woodbridge, VA can provide you with this infidelity counseling help.

Just reach out to our office to schedule an appointment with an adultery counselor or therapist today.

Why Are We Unfaithful?

Couples who choose to attend counseling for adultery tend to offer the following three basic reasons for their infidelity:

  • Emotional reasons (feeling disconnected or apart from their partner)
  • Physical reasons (losing that sexual “spark” with a partner, no longer feeling satisfied with them)
  • Practical reasons (much rarer, but not unheard of—not believing in monogamy, for example, and one partner who thought that they were okay with that now finding that they are not).

The vast majority of people who find themselves in counseling for adultery will find that in their cases it was probably emotional or physical reasons for them (or their partner) choosing to look elsewhere for someone outside of the marriage or partnership. Often they will just feel unloved, unattractive or maybe just bored with their lives. They might still love their partner—most people taking the counseling route do—but they just want something else, anything else.

People who commit adultery tend to do so because they’re missing something somewhere in their lives. A qualified counselor will try to determine what that is and if they can get whatever that “something” is back.

Counseling for Adultery: How Does It Work?

An adultery or infidelity counselor will work with a couple—both the faithful party and the unfaithful party—to determine what can be done to save the relationship and also to face up to the infidelity on both sides and see how (or if) things can move on. The counselor will work to:

  • Help both parties get to know each other again
  • Help both parties to understand what they want from the other (sexually, emotionally, practically)
  • Help each party be honest with each other.

Getting over an infidelity in any relationship is extremely hard and can feel impossible at times. Counseling for infidelity can be integral to saving that relationship. Those going through adultery in their relationship can find counseling extremely useful if they are willing to try it.

Consider reaching out to Thriveworks Woodbridge—call or schedule online to begin with one of our infidelity counselors.

I want to start off by saying that my two counselors I had were great, but the thrive works Business model is lacking a care for its clients. I had my heat go out and I missed my session because I was working for eight hours straight on it and was told that I shouldn’t have been working on my heat and made my appointment because it’s more important than my family. Will not recommend, and I had a horrible experience with Thrive works as a business model but again my two counselors were wonderful. I got nothing but respect for them.

I mentored Sharon in her master’s and doctoral studies where I found her to be thoughtful and discerning. She always generated a sincere sense of passion as her desire was not just to obtain degrees but to build the skills and knowledge base to support people within her community. Transparent in all her interactions with me and fellow students, she was unapologetically true to Biblical standards as the foundation of her interactions with others. I am confident that she will continue to be a thoughtful and wise counselor to all who seek her guidance and compassion.

Sharon is the epitome of integrity. She operates in humility and truth. She embodies what I call the three Cs: Caring, Considerate, and Compassionate. She sees you, hears you, and listens attentively and intuitively to your concerns. Her advice is sound and non-judgmental. Sharon's quiet, calm, and peaceful spirit puts you at ease, and makes you feel comfortable. I often seek her advice when life becomes difficult. I highly recommend Sharon for those that are broken, and in need of much healing and inner peace.

Sharon shows a great deal of compassion, wisdom and kindness when sharing my concerns/issues with her. She is professional yet very personal as she guides and provides the help I need. If you are looking for a counselor that cares Ms. Sharon is an excellent choice.
