Infidelity and Trust Repair Counseling in Santa Monica & Los Angeles
Discovering infidelity — or any significant betrayal of trust — is one of the most devastating experiences a relationship can face. The pain is real, the confusion is profound, and the question of whether the relationship can survive feels impossible to answer in the immediate aftermath.
Dr. Sally Hackman, PhD, MFT, offers compassionate, expert couples counseling for infidelity and trust repair in Santa Monica and Los Angeles. She has helped many couples navigate this devastating experience — some choosing to rebuild the relationship, others choosing to part with more understanding and less ongoing pain.
Key Points
A Path Through One of the Hardest Challenges.
Empowering Resilience
Whether you choose to rebuild or separate, therapy helps both partners understand what happened — in the relationship and in each of themselves — so that you can move forward with clarity rather than unresolved pain.
Healing Space
A safe, neutral space where both partners — the one who was betrayed and the one who betrayed — are held with compassion and honesty.
Transformative Support
Dr. Hackman helps couples explore the conditions that led to the breach, the impact it has had, and the work required to rebuild — or to end the relationship with as much integrity and mutual respect as possible.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Your Relationship Matters.
Recovery from infidelity is possible — but it requires honesty, commitment, and skilled guidance. Dr. Hackman brings both the clinical expertise and the human warmth needed to hold this difficult work.
