Betrayal can leave you questioning the relationship, yourself, and what happens next.
DeepWaters provides individual therapy for people on either side of betrayal—whether you were betrayed or you are trying to understand and take responsibility for a betrayal of your own.

After betrayal, there can be enormous pressure to decide:

Understanding behavior does not excuse it. And taking responsibility for your own healing does not make you responsible for someone else's choices.
Individual therapy can help you focus on:
If couples work becomes appropriate, DeepWaters can also coordinate with an existing couples therapist or explore collaborative co-therapy.
If betrayal has changed your relationship, your sense of yourself, or what you thought your future would look like, we can begin with what is happening now.
