Infidelity Counseling for
Individuals and Couples
Expert Affair Recovery & Prevention Services
Has your marriage or relationship been rocked by infidelity?
You’re not alone. Cheating is on the rise, but it doesn’t have to mean the end of your relationship—and our success stories prove it. Common reactions people face after the disclosure or discovery of an affair include:
If you’re the Betrayed Partner:
- Do you feel like you’re going crazy, that your world has been turned upside down and you don’t know what’s real and what’s not?
- Are you wondering how your partner could have done this to you?
- Are you torn between wanting to leave and wanting to stay, and feeling like a fool for even considering staying?
If you’re the Betrayer:
- Do you regret what you did but have no idea how to repair the damage?
- Do you want to understand why it happened so you don’t repeat the same mistake?
- Do you want to save your marriage or relationship but don’t know how?
- Are you unsure if you should stay or go?
Get clarity.
You may feel lost, helpless, or uncertain about your future and what next steps you should take. Our trained therapists will guide you step-by-step so that you get clarity and make the best decision without regrets.
We can help.
Forgiveness and recovery are possible. You will not only learn the tools to rebuild trust, but you have the opportunity to make your relationship stronger than ever. Through research and almost 20 years of working with individuals and couples struggling with infidelity, Anita developed the “Affair Recovery Plan” to help you:
Learn how to cope with the roller coaster of emotions and common symptoms
Learn the must-have tools to prevent future infidelity (i.e., the Threat Check Conversation™)
Understand why the cheating happened
Address other relationship/marital issues
Recover your self-esteem and be healed
Rebuild your relationship/marriage
Threat Check Conversation®
Do you know when you’re getting closer to cheating?
Most people don’t wake up one day and decide to have an affair. More often, infidelity begins with a series of small decisions, rationalizations, and crossed boundaries. This is also known as micro-cheating. It’s easy to tell yourself that you’re “just friends” or that “it means nothing.” It’s easy to minimize or ignore warning signs when you meet someone and enjoy their attention, or feel more alive than you have in a while.
The good news is that infidelity is often preventable. At Relationship Reality 312, we help clients identify vulnerabilities, strengthen boundaries, and protect their relationships before serious damage occurs.
That’s why Anita created the Threat Check Conversation®, a structured conversation couples periodically have to identify and address potential threats to their relationship. This practice builds self-awareness and transparency, and helps protect your relationship by maintaining safety and trust.
The handout includes:
- 23 questions to assess your own vulnerability to cheating
- 7 questions to assess your vulnerability to being mate poached
- A threat assessment exercise to identify people who may pose a risk to your relationship
- Guidance on creating boundaries and precautions to protect your relationship
- Recommendations for when and how often to have the conversation
For $14.99, you’ll receive a practical tool designed to help couples reduce the risk of infidelity.

If your relationship has already been affected by infidelity, is important to begin the repair work as soon as possible to enhance the process of healing. Or even if you’re unsure if you want to stay in your relationship, we can help give you clarity.
