Infidelity & marriage restoration.
Compassionate, specialized support for couples healing from infidelity and rebuilding their marriage after betrayal — whether the affair is recent or long past.
Healing after betrayal, step by step.
As a Gottman Certified and Christian Licensed Professional Counselor in Corpus Christi, Ann Marie offers in-person infidelity therapy and marriage restoration counseling five days a week in a private, discreet setting. Whether the affair is recent or long past, she helps couples navigate the pain of broken trust, process complex emotions, and work toward renewed connection — or clarity about the path forward.
Discovering an affair, or living with the aftermath of one, can shatter a relationship's foundation. Marriage restoration therapy provides a structured, safe space to address the wound of infidelity, understand what led to the betrayal, and decide whether — and how — to rebuild. Healing is possible, and many couples emerge stronger with the right support.

When betrayal has shaken the foundation.
Overwhelming feelings of betrayal, anger, grief, or shame. Difficulty trusting again. Communication breakdowns and emotional distance. A desire to rebuild the marriage after an affair. Uncertainty about whether the relationship can be restored. Impact on children, family, and spiritual life.
Early sessions focus on safety, emotional regulation, and understanding the full impact of the betrayal. Sessions take place in a cozy, confidential private practice setting — ideal for couples who need discretion during this vulnerable time.
As trust begins to rebuild, the work shifts toward creating new patterns of connection, transparency, and mutual care. Many report reduced emotional intensity and clearer hope within the first several weeks of consistent work.

Areas this service often covers
About infidelity counseling
Can a marriage really recover after an affair?
Yes. Many couples successfully restore their relationship when both partners are willing to do the hard work of healing, transparency, and rebuilding trust.
Do both partners need to attend?
Ideally yes. Couples therapy is most effective when both people participate. Individual sessions can also support the process when needed.
Is faith part of the counseling?
Biblical integration and spiritual support are available when requested. Many couples find strength in combining clinical tools with their faith.
How long does affair recovery therapy take?
It varies. Some couples see significant progress in a focused series of sessions; deeper restoration often takes longer. We work at a pace that feels sustainable.
What if we're not sure we want to stay together?
Therapy can help you gain clarity. The goal is not to force a particular outcome, but to support honest exploration and healing either way.
