Infidelity Recovery Intensive in Salt Lake City, UT

One-Day Intensive

One-Day Infidelity Recovery Intensive

5 hours | $1,950 per couple

Trust in the relationship has been destroyed.

Understand the betrayal. Begin the repair.

Cheating often creates a painful cycle of questions, defensiveness, anger, and uncertainty. Traditional weekly counseling can help, but some couples benefit from setting aside a dedicated day to focus more intensively on the issues keeping them stuck. A one-day affair recovery intensive gives you space to slow down, step out of daily routines, and work through what happened with a trained couples therapist guiding the conversation. Instead of waiting a week between sessions, you can stay with hard topics long enough to make real progress. For many couples in Salt Lake City, this focused time becomes a turning point in healing after infidelity.

Two partners holding hands while seated together

The one-day intensive provides structured time to explore the impact of the betrayal, begin meaningful conversations, and establish a foundation for rebuilding trust. We'll look at how the affair has affected each of you, make room for the hurt partner's questions, and help the partner who strayed take meaningful responsibility. You'll also learn ways to talk about the betrayal without spiraling into conflict. By the end of the day, you'll have a clearer sense of where you stand and the next steps toward repair.

What we'll work on:

  • Processing the emotional impact of the affair, including grief, anger, fear, and loss of safety.
  • Developing a shared understanding of what happened and how the relationship was affected.
  • Exploring accountability, empathy, and the difference between understanding behavior and excusing it.
  • Identifying the transparency and boundaries needed to begin restoring trust.
  • Practicing healthier communication and conflict-management skills.
  • Creating initial agreements and goals for the recovery process.

You'll begin the work of repair

You'll leave with: A clearer understanding of the injury, practical communication strategies, initial trust-building agreements, and a structured plan for continuing recovery. After a full day of focused affair recovery therapy, many couples feel less stuck and more connected than they have since the betrayal came to light. The betrayed partner often feels more heard and less alone with their pain, and the involved partner gains a clearer sense of how to offer real accountability and repair. You'll go home with concrete steps for rebuilding trust after infidelity, calmer ways to talk about the affair, and renewed hope that your relationship can heal.

Best for: This one-day infidelity recovery intensive in Salt Lake City is a strong fit if you keep circling the same painful questions, conversations about the affair end in anger or shutdown, or trust feels too broken to rebuild on your own. It also works well for couples dealing with an emotional affair, physical affair or online infidelity, partners who want intensive couples therapy for infidelity without waiting months for weekly progress, and busy couples who can set aside one full day to focus on their marriage.

My Approach for Infidelity Recovery

Every intensive starts with careful preparation: a couples consultation, individual meetings with each partner, and questionnaires, so our time together goes to the work that matters most.

I want whatever intensive you choose to be worth your time.  During the intensive, I draw on Gottman-informed affair recovery methods to guide you through the stages of atonement, attunement, and reconnection at a pace that feels safe for both of you. You'll leave with practical tools and a plan for the weeks ahead.
