The Healing Hearts Group

Helping women move through intimate partner relationship betrayal with support, strength, and a renewed sense of self.

If you are struggling after discovering a partner’s infidelity, sex addiction, porn addiction, or secret sexual behavior, you are not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this by yourself.

You may be carrying pain that feels difficult to explain — disconnection in relationships, loss of trust, emotional overwhelm, or a quiet sense that something no longer feels safe inside.

Therapy here is a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin rebuilding emotional safety at your own pace. You don’t need to have clarity, answers, or the right words to begin — only the willingness to be supported in your experience.

Who I Help:

  • Betrayed partners navigating infidelity or sex addiction recovery

  • Adults healing from narcissistic or emotionally unsafe relationships

  • Veterans navigating identity, trauma, and reintegration

  • People who feel disconnected, overgiving, or emotionally exhausted

  • Couples impacted by sex and pornography addiction seeking recovery, repair, and emotional reconnection

If this is where you are right now…

You may be feeling:

  • constantly anxious in your relationship

  • hyperaware of your partner’s behavior or secrecy

  • confused about whether your reactions are reasonable

  • emotionally exhausted from trying to hold everything together

  • ashamed to talk about what you’re experiencing

  • afraid to trust again but still longing for connection

Our Services Via Telehealth

  • Individual therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of patterns shaped by trauma, chronic stress, and lived experience. Many individuals seek therapy feeling disconnected from themselves, stuck in survival mode, or overwhelmed by emotional or relational challenges. In this space, we work toward greater self-understanding, emotional regulation, and clarity, supporting growth that feels grounded, compassionate, and sustainable.

  • Couples therapy supports partners who feel stuck in cycles of conflict, distance, or mistrust, including the impact of infidelity and betrayal. Often, these experiences disrupt emotional safety and communication, leaving both partners feeling hurt, guarded, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a structured, supportive space to process betrayal, rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and explore relational patterns with care, accountability, and compassion.

  • This group goes beyond simply sharing your story—it offers a structured, clinically informed process with focused tools, materials, exercises and connection to help you stabilize, understand, and rebuild.
