Infidelity & Affair Recovery in Charlotte, NC.

A Clinical and Relational Approach to Infidelity

Infidelity is not only a breach of trust—it often reflects deeper dynamics involving desire, erotic energy, emotional intimacy, opportunity, and accessibility. My Fidelity / Infidelity Model and The In-Factor Model explain how modern conditions—especially digital environments—create powerful pathways to emotional and sexual involvement outside the relationship, often without conscious intent.

This work helps clients understand:

• Why loving relationships are not immune to infidelity
• Why infidelity happens (beyond blame or moral judgment)
• How emotional, erotic, and sexual needs become displaced
  The role of opportunity, secrecy, speed, and intensity—especially online
• How desire, validation, and identity intersect with affairs

Support for Both Partners

This service supports both the betrayed partner and the involved partner, as well as couples who wish to heal together.

For the betrayed partner, therapy addresses:

• Betrayal trauma and emotional shock
• Loss of trust, safety, and self-confidence
• Intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
• Rebuilding a sense of stability, agency, and clarity

For the involved partner, therapy focuses on:

• Understanding the internal and relational drivers of the affair
• Taking accountability without shame or defensiveness
• Addressing desire loss, emotional disconnection, or compulsive patterns
• Rebuilding integrity, honesty, and relational responsibility

Relational Repair & Decision-Making

Not all couples know whether they want to stay together—and that uncertainty is respected. This work supports:

• Couples seeking repair, reconnection, and rebuilding trust
• Couples navigating separation or conscious uncoupling
• Individuals needing clarity after discovery of an affair

Therapy focuses on restoring emotional safety, rebuilding communication↗, and—when appropriate—reintegrating erotic and sexual connection in a way that is intentional, ethical, and grounded in consent.

Why This Work Is Different

Unlike generic affair recovery programs, this approach:

• Integrates psychology, sex therapy, and relational science
• Addresses desire, erotic energy, and intimacy, not just trust
• Recognizes the unique role of cyberspace and digital infidelity
• Is grounded in original clinical research and models
• Treats infidelity as a relational process, not just a mistake

This service is offered through individual counseling, couples counseling, and sex therapy in a confidential, safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment. No medical treatment, nudity, or physical contact is involved.
