There is hope after devastation.

We can help.

If you or your partner had an emotional, sexual, or physical affair, the effects can be devastating and far reaching. The road to repair is often long, emotionally draining, and fraught with ups and downs. Often there is often guilt, shame, and embarrassment surrounding the situation. As a result, many couples suffer in isolation, afraid to talk to trusted friends and family members.

The good news is that full recovery after even long-standing or multiple affairs is possible. Ideally, recovery ends up with everyone having learned and grown. In fact, researchers have found that 75-85% of all couples can recover from an affair, if you get the appropriate treatment.

While we highly recommend couples therapy to help promote healing after infidelity, group therapy often is an equally important component for recovery. Group therapy helps couples heal and feel less isolated and alone through the recovery process. Through group therapy, you can experience support from people who have walked in a similar path and learn practical tools from the therapist-facilitated process.

We offer groups for both people in the relationship–those who had an affair, and the partner who has been betrayed.

What can We Gain from a Recovery Group?

Our groups can help you:

  • Understand your emotions about the situation
  • Identify what you want moving forward
  • Learn more about why this happened, and how to prevent it
  • Gain perspective from others in similar situations
  • Get past defensiveness
  • Abandon anger and resentment

  • Rebuild trust and security in your relationship
  • Identify healthy coping mechanisms to help you manage your emotions
  • Gain instant resources to help you with next steps
  • Learn how to manage difficult conversations
  • Create solid relationship boundaries to protect your relationship
  • Deepen your love and connection

You can heal after infidelity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the group?
We prefer to keep groups small and intimate. Each group is capped at 8 participants.
Does my partner have to attend a group, too?
You can attend a group alone. If you partner wants to join the alternative group, we encourage that, but it’s not mandatory.
Will people share my information?
Your privacy is of utmost importance. Everyone will likely share details that they want to remain private. To participate in the group, you must sign an agreement to maintain confidentiality and privacy within the group.
Do I have to be a client of Family Therapy Associates to participate?
No, our groups are open to anyone interested in receiving help for infidelity recovery. You do not have to be an existing client of Family Therapy Associates of Jacksonville to attend.
What if I have to miss a group meeting?
We know life is busy, and it may not be possible to attend every group session. While it’s understandable if you have to miss one meeting, keep in mind that everyone relies on the entire group being present for the process to be as successful as possible. If you have to miss more than one session, we recommend meeting privately with the group facilitator to catch up on what was missed.
What is the cost of the group?
Group therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationship–not only financially, but it requires your time, energy, and effort.

The cost for group sessions is $105 per session.

If you prepay for all 8 group meetings before the group begins, the cost is reduced to $90 per session.

If you and your partner attend groups, and you prepay, the cost is reduced to $80 per session, per person.

Do you accept HSA & FSA Cards?
Yes! Mental health counseling or therapy is considered a qualified medical expense, so you can use funds on your HSA (health savings account) or FSA (flexible spending account) cards. We also can provide all necessary receipts if needed.
