Hannah has a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has been a licensed therapist since 2014. She has worked in a variety of settings with several populations.

Since that time, she has worked in an inpatient psychiatric facility, residential programs, intensive outpatient agencies, and an outpatient clinic.
Hannah found a passion for supporting individuals and families struggling with substance abuse disorders. In doing this work, she has discovered that many people struggling with addiction also struggle with trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety.

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.
Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Cumming, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Cumming, GA typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.
Learning that a spouse or partner has cheated is often a traumatic experience, and people often need a counselor’s help, whether they pursue reconciliation within the relationship or not.
Thriveworks Cumming has counselors who understand how disorienting adultery is and have helped many couples find a healthy way forward, whether their goal is to restore the marriage or part ways as amicably as possible. If you need help achieving either of these goals after infidelity, call (770) 224-7008. Our counselors are ready to step in.
People who cheat on their spouse or partner give many excuses, most of which are unhelpful to the relationship. The reality is, cheating is a hurtful action regardless of the reason it occurred. Nonetheless, counselors sometimes talk about two contexts in which people cheat that may be helpful to understand. Determining the context where the infidelity occurred can help determine what the path toward healing may involve.
Regardless of what led to the infidelity, cheating has a devastating impact. Whether couples decide to pursue separation, divorce, or reconciliation, they often benefit from a counselor’s guidance.
Couples can recover from an affair and pursue their relationship goals, whatever those goals may be. But unfortunately, there is no quick-fix for infidelity. Saying, “I’m sorry,” does not magically heal the wound or restore trust. Even if couples decide to divorce, there are many reasons to pursue counseling to handle the aftermath of an affair.
Thriveworks therapists have extensive experience in helping couples walk through the disorienting path of infidelity. They have many tools that may allow couples to repair what the affair destroyed. These may include…
Infidelity in a marriage is a difficult but delicate experience. Reaching out for help may be the right thing, but speaking to a therapist about such a painful and personal problem is not usually an easy thing. Thriveworks Cumming, GA counselors understand.
Infidelity does not have to ruin your life. Are you ready to start healing? Call today to schedule an appointment for counseling. We offer evening and weekend sessions, provide same-week appointments to new clients, and accept most major insurances.
