Infidelity Therapy In Fort Myers, FL
The Pain of Infidelity Trauma
Infidelity is more than just a little crack in your relationship, it feels like an earthquake that shakes your entire world. You might feel lost, angry, or broken, wondering how someone you trusted could hurt you this way. Or maybe you’re the one who strayed, and guilt keeps you awake at night as you question if you can ever make things right.
These emotions feel like weights you carry every single day, affecting your work, your relationships, and even how you see yourself. You don’t have to carry them forever.
What is Infidelity Counseling and How Can It Help?

Whether you want to repair your relationship or seek closure to move on, infidelity counseling provides tools, support, and hope for what’s next.
