Partner Betrayal Trauma

If you've discovered your spouse's pornography use, affair, or secret sexual behavior, the shock can feel like trauma. Ashes to Beauty Counseling offers partners a safe, confidential place to heal in our offices or online. Shelia King, LCMHC, is a Certified Partner Recovery Therapist through AASAT.

​What betrayal can feel like

  • Not knowing whether to stay or leave

How I help

Your healing matters on its own, not only as part of your partner's recovery. We help you process what happened, understand betrayal trauma, and set clear, healthy boundaries. When you're ready, we can help you decide what comes next for the relationship.

 

You don't have to decide today.

 

Many partners aren't sure whether the marriage can survive. Discernment Counseling can help you think it through without pressure.

Shelia is a licensed therapist serving clients in Connecticut, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia via secure telehealth services.
